It certainly sounded matte as you rubbed your hand over the surface. <br /><br />One of the reasons I dislike matte finishes is because you get that "shush" sound as your hand comes in contact with the surfaces. I greatly prefer the tactile feel of a well done gloss or true satin finish. Plus, they seem to protect the instrument better than the flatter finishes. But that might just be my perception and not reality. Pono does an outstanding job of combining a gloss finish body with a satin neck. Ko'Aloha's overall thin satin is also very nice. You can see the grain, but the pores are sealed and protected.<br /><br />I know flat finishes are quite vogue right now, but I really don't like the feel of the flat matte finishes. They remind me of cheap, poor-quality wood. <br /><br />Great review, as always.Kennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458353524357762974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-58452430636378771562018-02-20T22:19:38.264+00:002018-02-20T22:19:38.264+00:00For a gig bag, I bought the Road Runner RR1MAN Ave...For a gig bag, I bought the Road Runner RR1MAN Avenue Series Mandolin Gig Bag. Fits the round body very well. There's not too much extra room at the head stock, but some. Very nicely made and it has two pockets.Bearcatjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994483137030783377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-29777573028398567352018-02-18T19:05:53.978+00:002018-02-18T19:05:53.978+00:00great review as always Baz, thank you for the ster...great review as always Baz, thank you for the sterling work that you do my friend, RichieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744639293262067385noreply@blogger.com
