Actually the spokesmodel for PurpleHeart here on Alembic's site.  
 


 
 
This actually might be the most clearly described/documented  Alembic I've ever bought, perhaps because it's also the newest. Still no birth certificate included, though :-(
 
... so I am curious what the file says.

I bet that just sounds amazing. I'd love to hear a clip!

Thanks. I've only had it through my headphone practice amp so far. Sounds great! It's currently set up for someone with a much daintier right hand than me - so I've got to do a setup before I play this beauty in earnest. No clips at the moment, but I will share some when I get something together.
