I have a bamboo cutting board. Worse comes to worse, you end up with an over-priced kitchen tool. :lol:

I wonder what that sounds like though.

Would be interesting to own a "green" guitar. :mrgreen: I would like to hear it. Bamboo is everywhere these days. There are even Bamboo mountain/road bikes. I had considered getting one, but the price tag is a wee bit high for all the riding I would do.

Okay- somebody get one and we can all hear it!

For the price, I might impulse buy this one, but have just written the company, and delivery to Ecuador doubles the price.

I'm also wondering about Chonta Palm, which is a renewable hardwood that grows here...could I make a guitar our of it? THe indigenous people make everything out of it, including spears and knives. Why not a guitar?

;-)

Just got off the phone with first act.

Really professional, polite...seems like a good outfit.

BUT. They don't ship to Latin America. (most outfits will, though it usually costs an arm and a leg. Plus import.) I was ready to pay extra, though.

But they don't. :( :( :(

So...no Bambusa for me, for the moment. :cry:

:cry:

Ande.

PS- if they raise prices before I get stateside, i'm gonna be really ticked off.
