No. 4034. Includes deluxe hardshell case. This is a 2025 Limited Edition Orchestra Cutaway with gorgeous & mega toneful woods and impeccable build quality. Hand signed by now retired Tom Bedell. "Enjoy your retirement Tom- well deserved!" And......this gorgeous instrument, along with many others, are a major part of your magnificent legacy.
Regarding the price: This model is a bargain at the normal street price of $5490, however the new owners instructed the Oregon crew to "clear the warehouse" and they reduced the price even more. This is a STEAL and a magnificent custom instrument. We ONLY received "2."
Here’s a way to define yourself, to step out from the pack. Go cocobolo! This truly exotic, uniquely dense Central American hardwood splits the atom between rosewood and koa, with a fast, articulate response that just begs for a cutaway to catch every note. Too often overbuilt, Sound Optimization results in thinner gradations that make cocobolo pop. In a dreadnought format, cocobolo—with traces of golden shimmer amidst its haunting dark brown grain—shines, offering up a beautiful, round low end. Adirondack spruce provides all the high overtones and sonic energy you’ll ever need. This limited edition will grow and change with you, adapting to your individual style. Put your mark on the music.
THE BEDELL ORCHESTRA: A comfortable body shape offering more individual note nuance and clarity. Designed for the fingerstylist where each note is the music, rather than the background projection of chording.
Another word is “Efficiency”. The Revolution Orchestra delivers a profound sound when played gently with fingers and really booms when challenged with a pick. Like other dalbergia woods, cocobolo efficiently projects bass tones so the whole tonal spectrum is balanced and clear. This instrument easily holds its own in an ensemble, but it begs to perform solo…its voice is just so beautiful.
The appointments magnify the extraordinary color and grain patterns of the cocobolo with the spalted maple purfling and rosette. The Bedell Revolution Orchestra is a magnificent guitar.
