Well, It's green, as in the color, i.e not made out of discarded 
furniture. It has wood hoops, Finnish birch stave shells. And now brace 
yourself for the big one; It is.. ropetuned :) I'm gonna try to get hold 
of a camera so I can take pretty pictures..

could be, there is some quite awful equalizing going on in there :) I 
boost quite a lot of treble, it's probably because my speakers are of 
the more gentle kind, and I have not taken the time to compare it to 
other recordings.


and Rich, I kind of agree to some extent :P
