Aren't all maple wood blocks basically the same? Nope. There's more to it than is obvious. The sound quality of a wood block is dependent upon the quality of maple, the orientation of the grain, and the precise machining of the slot. The obsessive attention we pay to these details is why our wood blocks outperform other Maple wood blocks in sound quality and durability.
