Crikey I hope that this situation isn't true or both me and my bank account are going to be in serious trouble..

Actually I agree with the Majority here..I think its a myth. I am sure that some of the Big Hitters chop and change but I do wonder (note I say wonder) if some do it more out of vanity than necessity..I played on Janet Craxtons extremely aged Loree not so long ago and it was lovely..as light as a feather and had the sweetest tone..ok it wasnt to my taste it was a bit delicate tone wise but it was smooth and even and played easily and was in tune, it didnt bulge anywhere and seemed ok to me but what do I know..

I do agree think that the age of the wood has a lot to do with how an instrument matures and that major mass production doesn't help..
