Re: Unease on choosing instrument

I've recently done some work on a couple of Proteges, one in cocobolo and one in grenadilla. Based on this very small sample, I couldn't detect any real difference in the quality of the sound produced. They both tuned well and had very similar playing characteristics. The one difference that I did note was that while the cocobolo was slightly lighter (mass, not colour) than the grenadilla, the wood appeared to be softer and more inclined to splinter. A band colleague has a fairly new cocobolo protege which has cracks along the tone hole line on the upper joint.
