Myrtle Wood


Used under high quality gear (especially preamps), what impact does the use of myrtle wood have on the sound?

Myrtle Wood is a very close cousin to the very common California Laurel, otherwise known as a Bay Tree. Just about any decent book on trees will refer all lookers for Myrtle Wood the the chapter on Laurels. Myrtle Wood is, I believe just a gimmick used to sell a bunch of rather flimsy carvings along the Oregon Coast.

It is a nice hardwood, but nothing all that special, except for those living along the Oregon Coast.....

It does burn well, though.
