Re: R13 in High school all state band

How old is too old? And, which type of wood is most negatively affected by age?

Just wonder if Rosewood has a shorter "ping" life than Blackwood ...?

Not being sarcastic, but this is interesting to me ... what happens to wood to make it lose it's musical luster? This topic has been around and around ...

I will say that when I'd get a new R13 or whatever, I'd loan it to my colleagues to try ... and I often got a comment like: "wow! I like the compactness to the sound ... my Buffet played like this when it was new ..." So is it just air-tightness and snappy mechanics that they liked, or was the newer wood a factor? Probably both ... and that's why getting a new barrel may help the sound, since it get's the most abuse and most likely to change dimensionally or chemically. '
