Mike---at first I kinda liked your Cherry one better because it has a little more of that Missouri *aah*Porter rasp---not quite LOUD AND PROUD though. But I sware -the more I play this Walnut one--the more I am liking its sound. It has a touch of rasp and just plain good true turkey sound. I like this stuff. Gonna have to start on a few more and see if they turn out as good as these two did. Those were my first two Cyprus call of any kind, but they will NOT be the last ones I make.
