Hall Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I have a Quilt maple I hang onto just because I like the tone. There are those who would feel it's not a real Hummingbird if it's not a hog, and I see that point for sure.. Thought you might want to consider that. I hope you would be in a position to play a Quilt before you purchase since it is a different wood than the classic Hummingbird, and it may not be the sound you want. Whats your situation on getting to play first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Here's a demo.Maple in general just brings out the fundamental of a note or chord and then decays: Hall and I are maple lovers so we know what we are in for. A normal hog bird has more overtones the quilts have more application if you have a playing style where you need separation in the notes or need them to sound distinct and precise JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other side Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I have done a lot of research about hummingbirds. I have read about the different woods (called tone woods). In all my travels, for a hummingbird the majority prefer the mahogany sound. I haven't seen any reviews about the quilt. My personal opinion is if the quilt was something more than our classics, there would be a waiting list. I don't know, just a little info. I'm curious too.

Joe M Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I passed on a beautiful used one a while ago in a local shop. As nice as it looked and played (and the price was great), I didn't buy it. Sounded just like a Dove, which isn't a bad thing, just a little too crisp for me. Glad I waited till I found my HB Vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
