Rosewood unleashed


This had been in the news for a few days. It is a very sensible thing to do. It doesn't take too much thinking to actually realize how dumb it is to subject manufactured products (done way before those CITES people were even born yet) to this relatively recent rule. Apparently, some people somewhere failed to put their little grey cells to good use. A blanket rule isn't entirely preventive, it adds to misery & hardship especially so when not applied in context. 

We would be able to buy guitars with rosewood components at a click of a button again. Hopefully it would be soon. You know how it is with paper pushers overseeing this turnaround - red tape.
