Warwick has begun producing FSC certified Corvettes. The wood comes from sustainably harvested forests.

If say if other companies join this method, it will help the environment greatly.

I know it's kind of been done to a degree, but I'd love to have a bass made entirely out of stuff like aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber. Just something completely cutting edge and space age....and the strings would be made out of carbon nanotubes.

Didn't you know, the entire forest area of Canada is purely reserved for F Bass and Dingwall?

I tried an electronic music course at school last term. That stuff is way harder to make sound good than you'd think! Or I'm just dumb haha. I'm way too traditionalistic in my composing to actually use those dubsteppy type sounds, so I was constantly being disappointed by the sounds that were supposed to replicate acoustic instruments.

And while electronic music is becoming really popular, there is a ton of amazing acoustic music being created right now. And out here in Portland OR, jazz is really starting to make a comeback in the music scene.

I second the notion that if we can't produce wooden instruments anymore, the human race would have been in big trouble for quite a while.

I thought synth music went out the same time big hair bands did.

Apparently you haven't listened to any mainstream radio anytime in the last 20 years.

As long as the universe is not in thermodynamic equilibrium, and there are human-like folks running around, there will likely be music. I recall reading an article about neanderthals and how they would make flutes which played on the do re mi scale.

Wow, take it easy there dude! I'm only a warehouse employee, so I don't understand that part at all!

Plus, there is always reclaimed wood as well. My dad has been on a mission to build all the furniture for his house out of reclaimed wood and he as made some killer looking stuff.

Here is an example of a coffee table that he built using 100% reclaimed materials.

I would not worry by the time wood for fret boards will become scarce we will all be using samples and our laptops to make music....oh wait many artists today already do that

As for the end of music...I have honestly started to think good mainstream music started to die after the 90's/early 2000's...but that is just me.

Actually, there are several different types of ebony used in musical instruments. Species of ebony include Diospyros ebenum (Ceylon ebony), native to southern India and Sri Lanka; Diospyros crassiflora (Gaboon ebony), native to western Africa; and Diospyros celebica (Makassar ebony), native to Indonesia.
