Master Works 16/15 Bantam Weight

IMAGINE!! How much better would you feel if you lost 15% of your body’s weight? Just think of how much more active and vibrant a lifestyle you could live! Guess what – it relates directly to musical instruments. Absolutely yes - less mass to move, less stiffness in the active components and different components becoming active because they are now less massive and stiff can only enhance your instruments ability to play beautiful music. This is the purpose of the Bantam Weight Option and it works! If you are serious about wanting the best instrument Russell Cook and Master Works can build for you, please consider adding this package of features to your special 16/15 or 16/15c instrument order.

 
Mahogany Back with 2 handle/sound ports & 2 threaded inserts (one for camera tripod, one for monopod leg use)
Honeycombed Internal Endrails for
Bantam Weight Instruments


The “Bantam Weight” option consists of:
• Thin Mahogany back for a lighter weight instrument and a deeper, louder voice

• Thin fan bracing for stability

• Honeycombed and thinned internal endrails which reduce weight and produce
vibrant active plates

• Thinner external endrails

• Separated bridge caps to control excess sustain

• Amazingly weighs 12 lbs (approximate) – carry your instrument around with your little pinky!

(Bindings not available due to thinner external endrails)
