Does anyone use wood for vibration control?


What kind of wood have you found to be best?

Panzerholz. Delrin. These are the two relatively commonplace materials with very low resonance. Other materials are far behind.

Note the words ’low resonance’. That is the property of absorbing vibration so as to not ring.

Both panzerholz and delrin are costly, so you don’t see them used much. It is rather less costly to market the hell out of junk. Every material has its uses, but for a TT I mostly use panzerholz, as it has other properties of value, e.g. tensile strength.
