[Description]
SKW-45 2016 No.1537 by Ikkoh Kawada has just arrived, a contemporary model with a waffle structure (lattice bars) inside the sound board. It is a piece that shows his excellent technique and sense of balance, as he also shows substantial work in traditional styles such as Hauser and Bouchet.
The sound is characterized by the loudness inherent in the waffle construction as well as a raw, woody sound. The acoustic balance is well integrated and flat from bass to treble.Although there is some variation in the sound quality of each string, the synergy between the dry sound and its rawness gives it an appealing vintage feel. The rough sound has various changes in expression, and it is wonderful that the quality of the model has been pursued in terms of expressiveness. There are a few scratches on the treble side of the sound hole, but the rest of the instrument is in good condition. There are no cracks or other major repairs.
