has any one noticed a difference...I was planing on buying the tusq but I would love to hear thoughts about the matter.... also has any one tried the mammoth bone? Guitar Parts - Ivoryseller.com - Instrument Ivory, Inlay Ivory, Ivory Gun Grips, Pre-Ban Elephant Tusks

I think the sound diff in reality is prob minimal, but pre-ban elephant ivory is I think the high end standard for the ivory nuts. I wouldn't go for the mammoth, based on how they describe that they are trying to get the sound of the mammoth bone to be close to that of the elephant. Good luck

What? Ivory is banned?

Oh-oh. The Fort Worth Zoo is going to be mighty pissed.
