Hi Jon,
Can't respond for Chris about his construction, but the only way to
keep purpleheart from going brown is to keep it out of the sun.
Sunlight causes the color change.

Hi, can you tell me if the case of your symphony is purpleheart,
and what did you use for tangents? It looks excellent . I used to
use pupleheart on some of the bagpipes I used to make. It gives a
really nice finish. The stuff we get here in Scotland sadly goes
brown after about ten years, almost like a walnut colour Have
fun JON
