Zoukie sez, "Ooooh celtic knots on the side!!!!!!!"
Yeah, that's some gorgeous work. I've experimented with covering it over to see what happens, and it doesn't change much
because the thing's so loud to begin with. It does sound less 'in yer face,' but only in -my- face while I'm playing it. It doesn't chang the sound out front at all (maybe that was obvious, but I had to test it anyway...)
The sound port does make it easier to play it more lightly in a big session. I've only played it once on stage, and I was glad for it then, too. We couldn't really rely on the guy mixing to get the monitors right, so the port in my face was helpful.
I see more and more instruments with side ports... I wonder if that's because the builders note that we're all experiencing loud stage volumes...? This is the first instrument with a side port that I've ever been able to spend any time with.
And... uh ... I didn't call the knotwork "celtic"...
