 Re: has the quality of African blackwood gone down?

Tough to say.

The most modern horn I own now is a 1981 Selmer 10S--all my others are 1950s and older.

My perception was that the Buffets I owned (c. 1991) were poor quality wood compared to the Selmers, that the older Selmers were better than the newer ones, and that the very best wood quality were my Fritz Wurlitzers from the '50s.

Hardly enough data to draw broad conclusions, though.
