I love their fake wood.

I was traveling sometime around 10 years ago when I waltzed into a music shop and looked around. I saw some neat instruments, and I remember seeing an upright bass that looked just a bit off.

Turns out it was made out of Aluminum and it was made towards the end of WWII to put on ships as a set of big band instruments to entertain sailors. The wood pattern was pretty slick, though just a bit off from what I’d expect.
