| It might be outrageously priced, but at least in some applications it actually does something. Whether it does anything more than something you can buy at the hardware store for $5 a litre is another matter. |

Let's make it three things.
The infinite number of times people start new threads about C37... |

Well, I've searched and I couldn't find one (a thread...). Although I remember that there was something mentioned in the Fullrange-Section (laquer being put on membranes and stuff).
And as the bullfunky being kind of new to me I didn't quite hesitate to start a new thread.
btw, anybody noticed the "Klien Horn" ? |

Ennemoser is or was a good and talented violin maker, but he always into experimenting - and I suppose he now earns much more money by selling C37.
I also think treating membrans etc. (or even PCBs) is BS but the stuff is definitely good for wood :devilr:
(it is made out expensive ingredients, that is for sure, and selling prices, well thats a completely different subject) |

Never hear of this stuff before, but googled and read Rod Elliot's take on it... lol he is not someone to sell snakeoil to it seems.

It makes no sense to me... the only reason why a varnish would develop in ye old times is, because it cures hard, is durable, is reasonable cheap to manufacture.. which in turn extended the life of articles, also instruments tend to be used close to the body, so its a good way of keeping splinters out. Sure untreated wood and varnished wood in a violen would sound diffirent as the wood absorbs the oil or varnish, and thus changes in density... but come on, takeing it further than that is quite mad...
On a related theme, I studied clasical guitar at school, and for some reason a nylon guitar sounds absolutely dead to me on rainy overcast days, whereass it has a crispness on hot sunny days, my teacher claimed never to hear this... maybe one of you has, or has an explanation... I'm 100% sure I could hear it today even if I tried... (haven't played in years)
