Double Bass Zach has a website!

"Seasoned European and North American tonewoods are used. These can be artificially aged to give the appearance of being old. While mellowing the wood’s tone, this gives it a sweeter sound with less play-in time, making it more stable and less of a shock to the instrument."

Looks great but ... what's that all about???

How can making wood LOOK old be more stable and give it a sweeter sound?
