There are so many unique things about that instrument. The figuring on the top and back is stunning!

Do you find all the sound holes/ports make a difference in how it sounds? I guess it has to at least directionally since there does not appear to be a sound hole on the top.

Whenever I played it, people mentioned that it has lots of projection, almost like it has a resonator.
