I've done a short sound file that I will post later if I can remember how

You have very lucky grandchildren.
Coincidentally, I received a query about your Alembicesque build a couple of days ago from a chap in the States. He was asking about the fitting of the Hannes piezo bridge and that splendid preamp you had installed. He's bought the same set up and was intrigued how to fit it. He found one of my build thread of yours on another forum from 2017!
Small world, as they say
Well, not so very fast, although faster than my recent full size acoustics. It took me around a month and a half...hmmm...thinking about it, more like two months
great job
And yes - the treble strings certainly rang out clear and true even at standard pitch - MUCH better than the strings I originally fitted, at that same pitch. However, the bass strings - while nowhere near as floppy as my originals - just didn't cut the mustard at standard pitch on this particular guitar. But were OK at 2 semitones above standard...
Anyway, I had a thought and rooted around in my bits box and found an unused pack of Savarez mixed tension nylons - normal tension for the trebles and high tension for the basses. At 2 semitones higher than standard - absolutely super. But at standard pitch lost a lot of depth. So I'll leave those on for a while and will refit the red ones at some stage for a '2-semitone high' shootout. Because it WOULD be nice to have that colour
I used to be able to play River Man by Nick Drake. Love his music, but devilish to play!!!
