This may be a good moment to ask for comments on a certain wood.

At the house museum where I lived for long, there is a harmonium, nicely cut and finished. (The base on which it sits is much different- different wood, different quality.)

Anyway, the museum people have never identified the instrument wood. They had been calling it cherry but agreed that it was not likely so.

At two different times, two men from the American south said that it is pecan. Might that be? Is anyone here familiar with pecan's qualities and uses? Bill D?
