Maybe an Alembic with goiters? ... or one of those Ritter "Dr. Suess" bodies?

Some of the sellers on both eBay & Craigslist are taking FAR to much liberty throwing around the name "ALEMBIC "! Just a little wood showing the grain with a natural finish look seems to be all it takes ???????? The nerve of it all! ________. This is what I say to that " These people need to get their thumbs out of their eyes " ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My loud 2 cents !!!!!!!!! keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2184 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 - 9:32 am:    I don't see any Alembic in it. I'm with Bill on it looking more like something of Ritter lineage.

If that's "Alembic style" I am Napoleon. Looks like a partially melted Ritter to me. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8484 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2015 - 8:26 pm:    OMG. It looks like a Pedulla on acid. I need to email these guys. Amazing they can remember to call it "Alembic style" but forget to mention what type of wood it's made from, because really, that's the only thing it has in common with an Alembic, is that it's made of wood, amirite? elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 1581 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, April 01, 2015 - 8:32 pm:    Amirite- I haven't heard of that species. ..and Yes, you are ;) sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 4060 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Thursday, April 02, 2015 - 6:37 am:    Yes ! pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 1474 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, April 02, 2015 - 8:11 am:    Being on acid may explain why the 'through body holes' spacing and alignment are so kitty-wampus. :-/
