They were not listed on ebay. I have had them for a couple years, bought them locally. What I paid is not public information. Indeed, there are a couple small wrap splits along the grain of the wrap, really pretty minor. I have another black onyx kit with more splitting problems, and a couple extra shells that are really alligatored.
It is not a log home, it is the inside of my music studio space. I applied the log surface as acoustic diffusion. I am working on the space, have built corner bass traps and added ceiling acoustic panels. Still a ways to go, I have some bass resonances in the room that still need to be tamed.
