They are crazy hard woods. You must be a little crazy to want to work with these super hard woods. But I understand. I loved my ironbark didgeridoo. It can hold so much pressure. Have fun making them in to magical musical instruments ❤✅
Interesting questions, but hard to reply without an essay. 1. Yes and no. Sometimes it is possible to balance out a shape by adding or subtracting hardness from the equation. One of the ways would be to make a bassy deep open bore instrument in hard wood which would add that "smile" to the EQ of it. I have made Sumo in D out of four different types of wood last, roughly last year and they were more different than I expected or even hoped for. People don't realize that all this time I am trying to avoid the superhard wood due to superhardness of working with them, but I keep coming back because of sound, response and sheer coolness that they bring. Many of my tests aren't posted as it takes significant time and energy to do these videos rights. These beams surely won't be turned into same instrument as they differ in length too much and it would be a shame to cut belah short just because bloodwood is shorter.
Well, you can´t oppose the fact here :) . One should do the same with players who want to buy it then. If their skills are equal the hardness of wood they desire :) go on our metal-driller
I was just having fun when I was recording this, I didn't even mean to publish it, I did it for my own pleasure. Though this test doesn't show the difference in sound when you play didgeridoos made of these wood, it does indicate that and it does indicate even more what kind of hell I must go through when I drill this material that could be used to make the axe. Not the handle. ;-)
