now i do love the look of the pearl acoustics sibelius and its made of 33mm french oak and has drivers made by mark fenlon and is not braced as the wood is very rigid. if these were not 5k then i would be very tempted . paul messenger wrote a brilliant review in hi fi critic in sept 2017 . apparently takes 12 weeks to make the sibelius .
in his review he mentions that they come with copper coloured drivers [95mm mark fenlon design] silver grey or paper . he states only 5% of the panal preferred the paper which has higher sensitivity and is more suited to valve amps , he says
so leaning towards making a frugalhorn or the similar pensil , i will also be thinking about the copper alpair driver or the pluvia

ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
