Schnitzer/McIntosh Collaboration, #5
#5 doesn’t qualify as a Taconic Series, but it’s special because Arnold Schnitzer and I collaborated on the building of it as a tribute to our mentor, Lou DiLeone. It is a Cottonwood round back with Engelmann Spruce top and European Maple neck. The model is Arnold’s interpretation of a Testore that was in his shop, a beautiful, flowing outline with violin corners.
