    Alizier or alisier: wild service tree wood
    http://rowanswhitebeamsandservicetrees.blogspot.com/2010/11/wood-of-wild-service-tree-sorbus.html?m=1
    "In France, Germany and Poland the wood has been used for making stringed musical instruments; for parts of harpsichords and simple wind instruments such as flutes, fifes and flageolets (Drapier, 1993) . It was used also for sheaths for knives, daggers and swords. One correspondent (October 1993) from Billingshurst, West Sussex, has said "I use the wood for various purposes, especially harpsichord jacks, for which it has long been the most favoured species, although pear is more commonly employed as it is more readily available." The wood, and that of the true service, were also widely used for this purpose in France and Switzerland..

    Taking it to its first jam tonight.

    I've only played it everyday for an hour or so......so this will be a good test.

    I wanted to spend some real time with it before the review.

    Initial thoughts are.....

    It's pretty legit for what I spent. Intonation is spot on. The wood itself smells great.

    Yes the neck is a U shape but it only took about 5 minutes to get use to it.

    I read someone suggested that these pat254's are better for rhythm.....I guess I'll find out later. The jam I go to consists of a Mando a cello and another guitar. No worries about this guitars volume....damn it's loud with these fresh strings.

    I could ramble about how much I like it so far but......I want to break the review into categories. Any requests?

    Any updates? How is the 254 sounding?

    The first jam was a success. Loud enough and has held up very very well as my rhythm instrument so far at multiple practices......a busy holiday season has contributed to the late responses on everything.

    Anyone still interested in a full review I can work on it over the weekend.....as my three jobs (including one where I play music....score) have kept me very busy.

    Yeah it'd be nice to hear a clip of it sometime.
