I've owned four or five Nords and am on my third Stage 2. (forced to sell the other two)
anyway, i just bought a brand new Stage 2 and the pitchstick feels like a plastic composite or something.
it just feels cheap compared to the previous pirchstick. disappointing.
anyone else find this on newer Nords?

Hi Philip,
You are mistaken about that -- it is wood. Perhaps the clear finish coat is responsible for making you think otherwise.
Bless,
Pablo

Hi,
PITCHStick = wood (albeit with a lot of Epoxy or lack so I can understand your perception)
ModWHEEL = some sort of ceramic/stone/whatever

My ModWheel is metal (aluminium? or some alloy). You can confirm that it conducts electricity with a tester.
PitchStick is wood here too.

maybe you should try to burn it to see if it's wood or plastic…if it melts like jelly them it might be plastic 
mine it's definitely wood

reminds me of how one tells if pearls are genuine or fake: leave 'em in a dish of acid overnight and if they're gone in the morning, they were real!

Before "real" artificial diamonds, the only way to reliably tell fake one was to burn them. Real diamonds, being pure carbon, would vanish in a huff of flame and smoke.
