Initial reviews are out for an internet direct HP made by Kennerton for LSA/Underwood. Surprisingly enough they brought 2 HP’s to market as facsimiles of Kennerton made products slightly modified and at price points supposedly to give you similar sound at lower cost.
The choices of the gorgeous Kennerton woods available are NOT options, which i assume plays a major role in the price difference, supposedly they have also made their own technical modifications/updates to the drivers to keep in line with cost and sound signatures achieved.
If these really can compete at this price point to quality Build, and SQ to their Kennerton brethren they will be good competition for someone looking for this sound signature that is willing to give up the option of the beautiful wood Choices offered up by Kennerton direct.
