I have an Alan Munde Signature Staghorn serial # 4738. Does anybody have an idea how many of this model were built? Also is Birch similar to Maple or is it harder.

I like this table because it's arranged alphabetically instead of by hardness like most other similar tables. workshoppages.com/ws/misc/wood...chart.pdf
	Geoff Stelling says: 8/22/2016 10:10:32 AM I counted 17 Alan Munde Staghorns. #4738 was the 15th one made and was one of only two to not have the signature in the 19th fret inlay position. I feel like birch is harder than maple in general. It is certainly heavier. Of course, there are lots of maples and we use the softer big leaf variety a lot.

And I thank Geoff for his kind communication and assistance when I was buying it. I am thrilled to own it, and gently play it.... my second Stelling... I wish I could find my previous Staghorn (and return it to the fold).... beautiful banjos and quality manufacture, with great playability.... LOVE LOVE LOVE Stelling instruments . Thank you, Geoff.
