| The Lawler C7
(Committee 7)
The Lawler C7 has that real studio sound of the 1950's. The C7's step bore design gives you real control in the upper register and in the dynamic. The effort to go from soft to loud is minimal. The quick response is due to its hand building and stress relieved braces. Many players of vintage Martin Committee's have commented that the C7 sound is right on the mark but with modern intonation and feel.
In an effort to give you more choices in the C7 line and make it easier to make a choice please take a look at the new numbering system for the bells,leadpipes and trim options. This should help you to pick out what combination works best for you.
