I'm really interested in trying to woody my Alessandro MS1i, but I have no idea as to which woods are the best to use. I have no tools, etc at the moment and wanted to try and keep that to a minimum.

It occurred to me that, seeing as I live in Japan, if I could find a section of bamboo that had the correct diameter it would require very little effort at all to turn them into a set of cups.

The main question I have is, would bamboo be too rigid? I've read a few threads here and there on wood cups, and some seem to say that a less rigid wood is better, although I never really grasped why.

Please help this wood noob!

I think it is your duty as a head-fier to make these bamboo cups and show them off to us!

Try it!

I supposed it might be called a.....bamboody.

that sounds like a sweet idea and might actually work! try it and let us know how it sounds. i'm thinking about doing a DIY project with my SR325i drivers and you just gave me an idea.

Haha alright, now I just need to find one of the right size.
