Hi All, Thought I'd point this out so nobody has an instrument seized by customs. As of January 2, 2017 all rosewood species are now restricted from crossing all borders as commercial shipments. Personal effects are excluded, but selling a rosewood instrument is now problematic. http://files.constantcontact.com/6b71fe6a001/ff31908b-37d2-4328-bbd2-3c3340ff666a.pdf https://www.fws.gov/international/plants/wood-and-other-tree-products.html Best wishes, Michelle
