Can anyone recommend a source? I really don't want one of those cheap plywood knockoffs... tone is everything to me.

I live in the U.S., but will order from anywhere... thanks for your help.

It's been years but try to contact Ingo Renner in Del Mar, CA. I've seen his Santoor output - spectacular ! Boutique wood selection nicely braced and finished with sound like you want.

I wrote to Ingo using the address on his blog, but haven't received a response yet...

I'll give it another try in a week or so.

Just curious. Do you know what Randy means in Hindi? :lol:

Actually, Djinn, I don't. I know that in Britain it carries a connotation of, well, horny and inclined to act on the impulse.

If there's a different meaning in Hindi, I'd like to know what it is! (My name actually is Randy, so there's not a lot I can do about it.)
