I took this picture para makita niyo na iba ang quality ng pine (hindi galing Baguio) na gamit nila Bruno and Birch Ply (na hindi marine ply) na selected pa para sa tunog. Mayroon kasi local amp manufacturer na gumagamit ng marine ply at akalain siguro na pareho lang ng 'selected' birch ply.

Maganda sana pala yung thread na yun?

Tapos nagpa-describe ng tunog... eh may sumagot "merong swirling effect". hahahahahaha talk about a dose of his own medicine!

Prior to testing, I helped Gene at ultrasound put together a cabinet to test the amps. For this test, a new Bruno 2x12 open cabinet just arrived. I helped Gene load it with spare Celestion Rola G12-65s that Ultrasound keeps around (It looks new too). Ideally, the cabinet should have been a 2x12 with an oval port at the back.

This 2x12 cabinet is a hand made shell of spruce(also considered pine) and a birch ply baffle by Bruno.

Good luck getting Baguio pinewood. They're not allowed to be harvested.

Anyway, some experienced wood-harvesters told me that the pinewood in Baguio is more reddish and not highly figured as the ones you see in the imported crates. Dunno how that would sound in a guitar cab though.

Malagkit ang Baguio Pine pre, SALENG ang tawag dun.

Yun ang ginagamit namin na firestarter para sumindi yung sinibak na kahoy sa kalan para makaluto ng sinaing.

I planted one sa gilid ng bahay namin na ngayon ay patay na.
Its been 20 years ago since i planted that tree.

Resurrection time i guess.

Huh? Wala akong sinabi na ayaw ko ang pine. In fact, as I recall at that time, my tone tubby cabinet was made of pine of fender dimensions pa yata. By the way, pine is NOT considered a hardwood.

Yep, pine is NOT a hardwood. In fact it can get very brittle. Very resonant, which make good resonator panels for recording studios.

Depende rin siguro kung anong klaseng pine. Bristlecone pine lives more than 5000 years kahit d cya siguro considered hardwood e ka katandaan kumunat na.

I'm not very versed at wood, but some pine species work well for furniture, but some work best as FLOORING. Of course, floor wood requires density and rigidity. If some floors are made out of pine, then obviously some may be as good as hardwood. But for guitar cabs, that is another story.

classification of wood is determined by porosity, compression of the wood fibers and how much "give" its got.

i missed this statement. pine and spruce are two different species of wood. so is the cab made of pine or spruce?

I was told that spruce belongs to or is pine.

"and as good or better sounding than Two Rock" ... First time I've heard this description about the Bludo... most I've talked to say the Bludo is in a totally different level compared to the TR.

What TR are you referencing the Bludo against BTW?

I love TR cleans!

Two Rock Custom Reverb... If you love cleans then you will be suprised by the Bruno Super 100 Cleans....

WOW that I gotta hear! The CR is a much respected amp! It's the Two Rock Classic Reverb and and Custom Clean that has my mojo running

Ang uso ngayon sa clean ay ang Komet Songwriter...

I always thought it was the 150watt Bludo HPD

Always wanted a Komet Concorde but scared it will be unusable given the volume concerns on that amp!

I find Komets quite usable. The trick is to crank the amp and use your guitars volume control to get cleans -- which does sound pretty good surprisingly. Of course, if you want to match the amp to the venue then you either get the ultimate attenuator OR match to a more inefficient speaker cab.
