I bought a few of Al's molded open reed predator toneboards, and I received them in the mail today. All I have to say is WOW. :o :o I've bought a bunch of toneboards from all of the folks that sell them. I mainly study the boards and try to figure out how each one "ticks." I am not exaggerating at all when I say that these are the easiest and smoothest boards that I have had the chance to drive. The sound is spot on, no matter where you are at on the board - on the tip or down the reed a ways. They have excellent range, both soft and if you get on it hard. If you are looking for a good board to either use or to study, then check them out.
I don't ever push any products. But this thing is well worth the time to try. I was amazed with it.
But what else should we expect from Al. :D :D His stuff is always top shelf. 8)
