Had a go on pne today. Not expert at woodworking or fingerboarding, but my amateur impressions: neatly enough machined, but slipperier wood than a BM & not as nicely radiused.
It looks like pine. Needs to be a harder wood really.
It's all in there in the comedy blurb "The linear, simple design makes the board an attractive piece of furniture. It is made of pinewood, a native tree of the Dolomites"
Next thing will probably be kneebar contests.
...That thing sells at 250 Euros!!!And it's just a bad copy of a BM (like every fingerboard that came out after the BM). And apart from that, it measures hang times. ...So, the ranking is made on hang times. If I dead hang forever on a jug I'm at a higher ranking than the guy who hangs one arms pinky mono for 3 secs? I mean, how serious, how trustable can it be, a fingerboard whose developers omit to specify the type and depht of the holds? Jesus fucking christ. What have we come to? Next thing will probably be kneebar contests.
I like the name.
