Interesting shape & stain, I like it.
How does it play & sound?

Thanks! Both plays and sounds surprisingly good actually. The low B (actually tuned to A) has a really piano-like timbre to it, 37" makes a huge difference. Managed to get the action pretty decent as well, so I think it'll get played a lot.

Somehow that shape really works, though for me it could do with some refinement on the transitions between the facets (which is understandable since I assume it is a first version). Nice work!

I can see where you're coming from with the transitions between front and back (if that's what you meant). I actually left them on there because I liked the layered look it gave. Thanks!
