I was looking for a short scale EUB, and was drawn to the BSX Mini Allegro because of its pleasing (to me) design.  After several phone calls and e-mails with BSX owner/builder Dino Fiumara I ordered one.  Dino is a good guy, and easy to deal with.

I am very pleased with the Mini Allegro.  The construction is solid and excellent quality and the finish is well done.  After some tweaking of the individual and overall piezo controls, and after replacing the standard strings with Spirocores, I am getting pretty close to the sound I was looking for.
