Chuck Baleno is a luthier specializing in exquisite vintage inspired instruments. Each is hand built and finished by Chuck in his Pennsylvania shop. 

This particular OOO is one of, if not the, favorite of ours from small craft builders we've had the pleasure of working with. It is perfectly made with utmost care, pride, and attention to detail. Chuck used Carpathian Spruce from the mountains of Transylvania for the top and amazing, highly figured, curly maple for the back, sides, and neck. It is as light as a feather, yet built to last generations. As far as the sound... incredible. It's rich, deep, and louder than the typical OOO.
