The plate for the five-position switch is hand made from nickel-silver and engraved by Chuck. (Thanks to Jo Boley of Richmond, Virginia ... jeweler extraordinaire...for rolling out the plate to just the right thickness!)  

See how the three-piece top shines in the lower bout! ...and the bound f-holes!.

The face plate was selected from book matched curly maple using a mirror. Scrimshaw inlay was hand cut from reused piano ivory.  The oval fingerboard markers are also all hand cut from piano ivory.

Check out this close-up and notice how the cocobolo bindings follow the lines of the modified Spanish footer. This design allows for extra room under the fingerboard in the cutaway area.
