Yesterday I was trying to describe what Michael Dunn gets up to when he's allowed absolute freedom to design. Here's a recent project, further explained on his Facebook page. My Daphne is, by comparison, extremely plain-Jane.  |

It’s a big old goofy world -
Now that Shelly Parks instrument - the quiet elegance and attention to detail was very impressive.

Michael can do quiet elegance--it's just that he really prefers gaudy over-the-top a bit more. His "production" models were more conventional and restrained. But give him a commission and he'd pull out the stops. My Dunn Daphne, on the other hand, is the essence of quiet elegance.  |

Very lovely. I did get to sample a couple of his guitars at the old and now defunct Mandolin Brothers. Stan Jay loved Dunn's work.

Here was my Dunn instrument, the world's first tenor harp-uke.  Relatively understated. The one guideline I gave him was that I preferred not to have sapwood on the headstock. I think we had a miscommunication. |
