Sound Pure's Take
This could very well be our very favorite OMH from Boucher yet! That balanced-but-bountiful voice we've come to love is given a clear, honeyed voice (and look!) through the use of some truly exceptional Koa on the back, sides, and binding. The contrast between that torrefied AAAA Adirondack and Koa has to, like precious antiquities and new, never-before-seen feats of craftsmanship, be seen to be believed. The same is, of course, true for the sound--plenty of OM-18s and OM-28s alike would readily bend the knee to this 171's majesty!
