Christoph Dolf, the very nice chap behind BassCulture in Germany, made me an exact copy with a rosewood cover, which sounds better than the original.

 

It certainly must be the tone wood cover. 🤔🤣

...if the other comes from the great tonetree. Some areas are so windy, that some noise may be included in the wood, too. Beware.
