French-Ukrainian builder Youri Soroka manages to make even relatively new builds sound open, airy, and wide awake. This 2021 Torres Model is no exception, dressed up with a dramtically figured, four-piece CSA Rosewood back, old growth Indian Rosewood sides, and creamy Spruce top. The voice is immediate and emotive, with a colorful bass response to pair up with quick and vibrant treble strings, plus a rich midrange in between. Build weight is very light–3lbs–and contributes to the experience of playing a living, breathing instrument as you feel the vibrations in your hands and your chest. The rosette features green purflings and a sheaf-of-wheat motif that sets off the amber color of the surrounding Spruce, just a bit of added color to make it pop. Rosewood bridge plus bone tieblock, as well as Rosewood bindings and gold Pagos tuners with Ebony buttons.

Great string energy, and there's an immediacy to the voice that I love. The midrange has sweet, sweet depths to balance the bass and trebles. | Scale Length | 25.6 in |
