The sudden interest in the black box hits home. I've written up a spec sheet for my next box. I want a black one that visually resembles the Monarch/Sterling/Eagle, but with all the modern attributes.

I'm a little nervous about the balsa, particularly if any additional work was performed on it, such as a reed change.

Another concern is the durability of screw pull-out in the light woods. How long can a D-ring hold under heavy use when set in spruce? Are threaded metal inserts a possibility to best utilize lighter woods?
