Nice bass notes..£3K ? ..Depends on what £3K ( or £6K ) means to the buyer..depends on how much they have.
£6K to some is ; as a proportion of what they make or have , like 6 cents ( or even less ) to another.

Plenty of suitable timbers out there, plenty of highly figured timbers out there. For them to just happen on a tree that 'apparently' is perfect tone is probably a load of fanciful nonsense.
But make up a good story, and some mug will shell out the cash thinking its one in a million.

luthiery is full of nonsense I'm discovering, one of the ones that makes me laugh out loud is 'swamp ash' it's literally american white ash that supposedly has grown in a bog, and lighter weight, surely they just find light weight pieces and sell it for more money? also moon spruce? does it really grow under moonlight? who invented these phrases? cheers.
