Make sure you coat them in that 115.00 an ounce lacquer....

I thought I had seen everything. Right up there with the brown flecks on my left iris.... / mark

I wonder what kind of flame wars could be erupted by stripping them and revarnishing with polyurethane instead.

Geez, didn't you read the explanation? It's the _wood_ that damps out the "microvibrations". Metal would be worse than plastic :-)

What a crock. I have 2 questions: 1) do they actually sell any of them? and 2) how do I tap into that kind of market? OK, 3 questions - could I live with myself afterwards? (probably not, ah well ...)

Ruination, Tim! The lacquers must be applied in alternating layers of formulations with different coefficients of acoustic impedance to preserve a 7th order Schnnicklefritz response.

I had been wondering about brushed aluminium with a wooden bush in order to get the benefits of the wood as close to the pot as possible
