ORIGINAL: Anders Eliasson quote:
Anders you clearly don't understand and the issue It could be that there are parts that i dont fully understand, but some of them I do understand. There has been a lot of cheating and trying to not have to follow rules and laws going on for a long time. This includes wood cutters, wood sellers, instrument builders, instrument sellers and instrument buyers. It has been a box full of worms for a long time. I agree, in part with what you say, this is the reason I have but a a couple of sets left and have not renewed my stock with it. My last sizable purchase was in the late 70's and I have grown accustomed to E. I. rosewood for most of my builds. But I believe that a lot of this ecological trend is being put in motion by those who would gain power to tax every living and animate thing we own. I'm sure some of it is to finance and support the system's management but I hope it is balanced by law to mandate a fair representation. The point in taxing something (cut wood) that has been in existence, since before the Cites Treaty, is somewhat over-kill, imho. If the wood can be dated, then it should not be taxed, even with today's building programs. There is no sense, whatsoever, to deny the wood its place to be built into something wonderfully artistic.
