OK, it seems that almost everyone is in general agreement that the older wood becomes, the better it sounds, right? More resonance, correct? SO I was thinking....What's to say you can't age your wood instrument faster by baking it? Right? We're just talking a loss of moisture right? Who cares if it's speeded up? It's not like the wood molecules change. Of course it may take a month at 200 degrees, but I'm just pulling random numbers, more research would have to be done....If it's valid it should probably be done before finishing. Do companies already do this?
