Terrible justification in my opinion and completely false. Like saying, "if I don't drive my car to take my kids to school half a mile away, someone else will". The more people come to realise the negative ethics of such things as killing an animal purely to fashion a guitar saddle, then hopefully this sort of thing will go out of fashion. It's basic economics. |

I would never buy any product from Bob Colosi because he continues to sell ivory. Yes his ivory is legal, but I believe his and anyone's trade in ivory just furthers and continues the interest and profits in ivory whether legal or illegal thus adding to this horrible reality... http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/15...say/?hpt=hp_t3 The sound of ivory may be best to your ears but please don't close your eyes to achieve a better sound.

No elephant or walrus ivory.
It is a simple fact that if you use a piece of "legal" elephant or walrus ivory, it will be replaced with a piece of illegal ivory in the supply chain. The use of a single piece creates demand. Do not use elephant or walrus ivory. Is a slight, if any, difference in tone worth the death of an elephant or walrus? |

I cant imagine there being much difference between Ivory and Tusq.Certainly not as much difference as changing your strings. If you want a warmer tone try warmer strings.You will get a far more noticeable change in tone between strings then saddles. My Omc-1E has a tusq saddle and I use Martin Sp's for a really nice warm tone. I use Thomastik Spectrums on my OM-28V.Due to the bone saddle on this guitar I find these strings are perfect. I tried them on the Omc-1E and they sounded terrible.
