I posted this already in one of the "***What Are You Smoking?***" threads. It's an HS Studio Rhodesian that was inexpensive and interesting. The chamber is kind of small (I prefer something more akin to a 320 KS), but, I'm glad I got it. I'd like to get one of their Ukulele shapes and not pay multi-hundreds (or thousands) of $$$ for an artisan version.

That's a Duane (@Chasing Embers) 's Special. ?

I'd imagine it would be a bit heavier than those humongous meers of his.
How much does it weigh ?
It looks well made.
It's actually a relatively svelte 64g. It has no fills as far as I can tell and passes a pipe cleaner without a problem, which is not a surprise as it's no more than a 1/8 bent. But it does have one weird flaw: there is a step where the shank (which includes and ends with the horn ornament) and the stem meet. The stem is uniformly larger than the shank all around the circumference. It's very slight and I can't see it, but I can feel it when I run my finger nail over the junction. It's a fun piece to own.
