Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Wowza!  We've seen some extraordinary work from the Taylor Custom Shop, but this gorgeous Grand Auditorium very well might take top honors.  With rich appointments and a borderline-addictive, overtone-y response, it's quite simply one we will never forget--we promise you'll be seeing that incredible Ziricote grain in your sleep, too!
