Little known fact about the Pikasso [sic]: the bracing pattern was designed by Sergei de Jonge as Linda couldn't quite figure out the stress points on the soundboard.Stephen W. said:Linda Manzer's Picasso has been well document over the years. I'm not sure what I find more unbelievable, the fact that she could conceive such a design or that fact that she was able to build it. Although I'm not aware of any recordings using it I understand that tunes have been written for it and that it has been played.
