Crest.

I wonder if there are any changes to Crest from the prototype to the production models currently for sale? I see a short-scale and medium-scale each made it to retail.

Yeah - it's standardizing as a medium scale, though short scales peek out from time to time. The biggest change is the heel - production models have a VERY deep carved heel.

Nice! Amazing how it can make so many sounds, yet they all sound like an Alembic.

I wish the video showed the control adjustments - I can guess, but it would be good to confirm (or refute) my guesses.

What was the amplification for this recording?

Oh - and was that short or medium scale? Looks like short to me....

Which strings are OEM on those?
