Hi everyone!
I thought this might be the right section of the forum to ask you a question whose answer I am really curious about!
I know that for full wood instruments (and not laminated) something 'magical' happens: after some time that the instrument is used, it opens up and changes sound, tone and volume. Fascinating!
I just purchased my first full Koa instrument (Kanile'a k1 gloss tenor) and I was wondering how it will behave in the future.
Could someone explain me the process that occurs in the instrument? Would you also know how long does it take (on average. I am sure it depends on many factors) to a uke to open up considering a daily usage?
Thanks! I am really intrigued by this topic! Wood is a wonderful material
Cheers
