How is Artic wood compared to Korbel, Virtouso, acoustic, and rest of the 5 ply. Don't know what to choose. I have read that Artic wood is quite stiff? I really don't want it to be super stiff, need some flex. |

Currently, I am using Li Du Booster, I always put 2-3 layers at Neo Province H3, it can continues playing for 3-4 days, on the 5th day I will start to feel the speed of H3 is dropping and harden. If falcon is good, I need to change my booster. |

The difference gets bigger if I use a larger window size for the analysis: with a 8192 size window (same audio file, about 8x times larger window) I get peaks at 1327hz on FH, and 1338hz on BH. That's with 1 minute's worth of bounces on each side. I'm not sure whether this difference between FH and BH is big enough to be significant - or whether it's due to factors I can't control for. Would be curious to know what results other people get on bounce tests with BH vs FH. |

Fatt, is American Hinoki still making blades? |

First, natural wood is boiled in a mix of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulphite, which is actually similar to the process made to create wood pulp for paper. Next, the wood goes through a compression phase to collapse the walls between individual cells. Heat is added to encourage new chemical bonds while the wood continues to be compressed. Those processes are able to strip out certain polymers to allow the new wood to reform while also keeping other polymers essential to the wood's strength. The strengthening ultimately comes from large numbers of hydrogen atoms bonding to nanofibres of cellulose, already naturally in the structure of the wood. |
