I never had much interest in the Revelator, although the reviews are all very positive. When my friend Foggy Otis posted his unboxing and playing, I decided to get one. I went directly to the Kala site and selected the base model ($1,399) with a Korina body. It just arrived. (For some reason, "Korina" likes to be capitalized.)
It looks and sounds much better than it does online. It feels nice, too. Sustain? Yes, it has sustain. I counted up to twenty before I could no longer hear it.
For comparison, my son has a key locator tag on his car keys. It emits a high-pitched sound which I cannot hear. Of course, that's high-pitched, and the revelator is low-pitched. It has wound low-G and low-C strings. I'm going in now to play it.
