Things like this make my day:
"I am currently working on a doctoral dissertation on the global diminishing supply of tone woods driving the alternative composite material industry in musical instrument manufacturing. I found your data to be of great asset! this is a huge effort on your part. The crux of my dissertation is the necessity of a sustainability effort for tone woods, the whole Green dealio. Thank you for information, I will cite you appropriately for any and all info referenced."
"I just discovered your website - what a resource! ...Grenadilla wood was the favorite wood of Theobald Boehm, the inventor of the modern flute, for making wooden classical flutes. I am a flute maker - for many years I made concert quality pan flutes from bamboo, and now I am making Native American Style Flutes from various tone woods, like Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Eastern Red Cedar, Yellow Poplar, Douglas Fir, and the like. I'm always researching about tone woods, searching for good flute making woods." David
"Nice to stumble into your website. We share two loves: fine guitars and all sorts of wood.... I'll check back to your website from time to time. It's very good!!!!" Mark
"I was wondering if the tonal characteristics of the woods you have listed apply to wood used for bodies on electric guitars. This is truly a phenomenal site you have here. I have been on it for days now and there is still much I haven't read yet. Thank you for your hard work in compiling this valuable info." Bill
