Wich one is the best wood for violin parts: rosewood, boxwood or ebony?
Violin parts: Pegs, chin rest, tail piece and end bottom
I read ebony is the better one... But aesthetically I prefer rosewood... What do you think?
I prefer ebony all the way. I think it doesn't matter much until you get up tp professional level and you need to get absolutely the best sound out of the violin that you possibly can. When I was competing at jugend musiziert I was advised not to use my violin and well, it had boxwood and wasn't a particular good violin either.
The denseness and hardness of ebony is favourable if you play a lot, the sound of the strings is not as heavily influenced, and I find that ebony shoulder rests are more comfortable.
Again, it all depends on how often you play. It might not make such a big difference at first bu if you practice 5 hours a day you'll notice.

VOGELZANG BOXWOOD STOVE information?
I am looking for some information on a wood stove called the Vogelzang Boxwood stove. It is about 21 x 26 x 32 or so, and made of cast iron. I am wondering whether you have used one of these and how you liked it? We might be considering using one in a greenhouse and we figure that we would need to multiply the area by about 50% or so, due to the fact that so much heat escapes through the glass. So, it might be about 720 or 800 sf. and will need to be about 50 deg. F. at night and about 70 deg. F. in the day. Has anyone used one, and how often did you have to put wood in it, how many logs at one time, how was the heat? Any other comments about it and how large was the area you heated and at what temperature (in Farenhiet)?
Hi
I have an Aga stove and I have found these people very helpful.
