I suppose northern hardwoods will do, and that good luthiers will find ways to get the best out of these. Hence, the quality of fine hand built instruments might not change. However, foreseeable how todays specimens of exotic wood will simply for their uniqueness be cherished and awarded mystic image of properties. Provided naturally, the same ecological desaster that may lead to protection of habitats, may allow us a future at all, in which one could be nostalgic about instruments exotic woods. Which again is not self-evident at all, but rather questionable actually. In the meantime we keep watching international meetings postboning environmental measures ever further away, on behalf of todays brainless profits. Because, when cashing in in abundance today*, who cares about tomorrow. When time comes to face the question of death or life one can still regret yesterday, innit. [8D] Ruphus * Other than Amazonas´ Indios producing soil by ash and feces long ago, none of the harvesters has invested a single dime into trees that notwithstandingly turn into several ten thousands of bucks by merely cutting and hauling them away. Who can resist such one-way goldmine, and similar affluent cash cows rising from disregard of nature, reason and foresight.
