Hi Karl,
I think that string instrument building demands MORE of the unique characteristics found only in wood . You have a good bit of fine grading in soundboards etc, so the structural properties are more prominent than in woodwind where you're making a pretty thick tube out of a Tank like wood. Also the wood plays a leading roll in actually creating the sound , eg. The sound of an unamlified electric guitar string to that of blowing though a mouthpiece with reed .( the string instrument sound box also plays a big roll here too ).
That said , I did once hit on an add for a carbon fiber cello . The add suggested that this was just the thing for playing up on the tops of mountains ....quite a lot of hassle for sucky acoustics ....but hey!...everyone has their thing .... I only hope that they can keep up with the flood of orders .
Hi Fuzzy ,
Very nicely and thoughtfully expressed as always . It reminds me of the kind of observations from Tom Ridenour ,who I admire for his down to earth " reality check" take on things . Apparently all his instruments were designed aimed at what he saw as the real needs of students and the fact that some of them became favored by professionals has pleased him but was never really something he had in mind ( So he claims! )
