It&#8217;s got a nice fat sound too it.\u00a0 I really like how the low notes come out on it.\u00a0 It would make a great straight ahead piece.\u00a0 I recorded a cut playing a laid back &#8220;All the Things You Are&#8221; and then another cut a bit louder and more R@Bish .\u00a0 I could play standards on this piece all day long.\u00a0 Well it&#8217;s off to the Post Office to send it back to the owner.\u00a0 Thanks Man.\u00a0 I appreciate you letting me play this one.
