[QUOTE="ZuluCollector, post: 16756, member: 22"] Ian, no offense at all. I was just seeking clarification. However, I don't agree that Howell's Volkimo shape is anything like Sixten's Ukulele. Sixten never created an Eskimo; his shape was a ukelele and it was altogether different. The Eskimo shape's origin was with Ed Burak and the only thing this has in common with that is the flared aspect ratio; everything else is different. This shape has some internal engineering similarities with Nordh's Ramses, but the angles are different. The disc shape did originate with Lars; this version - which uses the acorn shape – has shaping language that marries concepts more than shape language. At some point the departure is not derivative; it is original, I think. [/QUOTE]
