What do you think of the sound? He seems to have had some unusual brace shape methods. from both looking at your video and the site dedicated to him

Some interesting tones bars. Looks like they are either 2 pieces to make a "T" shape, or machined out of a single piece. I guess to give a larger glue footprint, but remove mass where it isn't required.

Thanks for posting.

The sound is fantastic. The braces are made of three pieces. The central piece and two outer square base pieces.
