Newport Satin Special
The newport is our everyday hard working instrument.
A model with solid 6 mm body top with our best striped Walnut, korina body and hand rubbed satin finish, with our new bridge for 4 strings models. And to reduce the weight of the body we drill small chambers just before gluing the top, allowing a better resonance and a faster tone maturation of the instrument.
