Alas, it's rare here in the higher ground of the South. If I could find some
growing, I could get it milled and dry it myself, but as it is, the guitar
makers scarf up every splinter of it on the market and so the price is high. It
wouldn't do for the neck or pillar of the harp (not hard enough to hold the
pins), but it would make ideal soundbox material. I've never known anyone
using it on lutes, but it is close grained and very, very light so it seems the
perfect wood for it.
Do you play it?
I'd like to get a look at that cello, though.***I'll have to scan in a picture and send it to you since this list doesn't accept attachments.
