I dont get it, why do they have to bend the wood?

Why cant they just cut the shape out of a large block of wood. Or maybe it wouldnt be as stiff.

Marketing gimmick...

Any half decent cabinet maker would be able to make cones like that with no problem, all you need is good wood and a steamer.

It sounds like an April Fool trick to me!

I wonder what a polypropylene violin would sound like?

Hey. This is really revolutionary..! What if.. they could spend some more money into treating the wood cone, and make it more like... paper... They could actually produce a paper cone!! I think I heard some engineers talking about actually making paper cones.. Back in the 1800's or something...?

Can anyone tell us about what extraordinary quality wood cones have to offer? This sounds like a joke...

Aren't some musical instruments made of wood? I don't think it has so poor sound you think

Exactly, wood in itself is a material that makes great instruments, by adding harmonics and colouring the sound. Exactly what you don't want in a cone material.
