JohnCockburn Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Old World Tonewood is the only web site that I've visited that allows you to view the actual piece of wood that you are purchasing. Are there other tonewood sites that allow you to select the piece that you are buying? Yes, both the Slovakian sites mentioned in this thread.

lyndon Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 except that the appearance of the wood has virtually nothing to do with the tone or sound it makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB3 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think his point was that it at least eliminates the "bait-and-switch" phenomenon, which is all too common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddy-o496 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I used one of Old World Tonewood's Double Bass tops and it is a great top that resulted in a wonderful carved DB. I recently ordered a violin top and it, too, is a beautiful hunka wood. John is great to deal with. Pals, Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
