	"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

September 30, 2006 | BRW Oval Preview

Thinking of a BRW... Actually, playing one.

Fellow picker Doug Young has been kind enough to send us his recently acquired prototype BRW Oval Hole for JazzMando Lab staff scrutiny, fresh off the workbench of wood & metal artist/prodigy Ben Wilcox. A brilliant Cherry Cola-tinted Lyon & Healy tribute, this three-pointer has been fun to play; we look forward to documenting its recent birth. (Okay, two-pointer from the waist up, for all you L & H purists. Ben has added an ergonomic lap corner.)

Stay tuned. Until then visit Ben's website: BRW Instruments
