Show us your Alembic Birth-Marks YOU LOVE!!!

I am talking about those natural wood beauty marks making your Alembic(s) unique and special!

Also, add fun, what message do you think it represent or share what others say about the markings?

If everybody join in, the Alembic players from the past, will make our spirits right. :-)

How about a thread where everyone posts pictures showing which direction their tuning machines are facing? What are the great mystical secrets hidden by tuning machine orientation? Does the size of tuning machines effect global warming? We can add photoshop pics of Julius Caesar, Fernando Llamas, and Porky Pig all playing Alembics with tuning machines facing in the same direction! Wouldn't that be cool!!!

Bill, tgo

"Does the size of tuning machines effect global warming?"
...yes, but not much : )
(of course it might have to do with who is tuning it)


Sorry Hal that I can't add more... none of my present Alembics have any telltale figures in the grain.

My old '75 Series 1 had a beautiful dark wood top and maple back. I'll find a photo of it soon. On the top it looks like there was a burn mark in the wood that was sealed over. It's right where the top laminate meets the neck. Could it have been a cigarette or........ :-)

It's just not fair, Hal. Every time you threaten to leave, declare that you are "done with this forum", you just come back under a different user name. You have to stop teasing us.

Welcome back of course, and stay as long as your hosts allow, but the next time you leave..................

"I'm bored."

"I know -- Let's pick on Hal..."

When was I ever discrete about about changing my handles?

My identity had always been known.


Peace and Love -
