Re: Myths in Go #1 "Joseki"

Please go easy on me. I am a beginner and continuing my longtime learning of the game. I want to reply to this from the point of view of a total beginner.

Re: Sound Test ShinKaya 2" Floor Goban

Progenitor and Ed, I only have a few sample size 36 shell and slate stones. I wish I could afford to buy the full set of size 38 shell and slate stones. I have no doubt that they would sound fantastic. There are questions in other posts as to why people buy shell and slate stones. I think the nice ...

Re: Sound Test ShinKaya 2" Floor Goban

I also tested using size 34 9.5mm glass stones, size 22 6.3 mm slate and shell stones (Japanese) and size 36 slate and shell stones (Korean - from gogameguru). I found that the best sound is from size 36 slate and shell stones.

Re: Sound Test ShinKaya 2" Floor Goban

Thanks, Ed. I thought of using the type of mic that you suggested but decided it was too hard. I just want to record the sound to enable viewers to generally know what playing on it sound like. I agree that it is echo-ey. But it generally sound the way it was recorded but less echo-ey.

Re: Sound Test ShinKaya 2" Floor Goban

Hi Ed, I just used a Sanyo digital video camera and place it very close to the board and record in a very quiet room. I put the stones up to move 75 to make it as long as possible for people to get a good idea of the sound made. :)

Hi all, because I couldn't find any youtube video showing testing of the sound of Shinkaya Go board when played, I decided to make one to let go players listen to what it would sound like. Enjoy!

Please note I did not slam down the stones. Just normal placing.
