Just an FYI... If you are not a builder and don't have a good understanding of nodes then its possible that you were holding the wood on a node which would make it sound less than pleasing, more akin to wet cardboard. My EIR is 15 - 30 years old and all of it rings like a gong when tapped. Its possible the EIR you inspected was newer plantation grown EIR which may have higher damping properties?
