First of all thank you all for your collaboration, you gave me a lot to think about.
Indeed my aim is to design the "next generation" of musical instruments made of Bamboo in the form of a Hi-Fi system. As I imagine, the system's components may include all or some of the above, amplifier, receiver, cd/dvd, Equalizer and of course, speakers. The research process includes inspection of each component as a different unit or a combination of some of them.
Which component you have? Where ( living room, bed room, kitchen ) ? Which one's you actually use in a daily basis?
I think that Bamboo will eventually replace most uses of wood, as mentioned before, in it's laminated form as floor, decks, kitchen ware and so on. The missing link is the use of bamboo in it's most natural, amazing and unique form in a modern home. The trick is making it look "right" and "sexy" to a western oriented consumer market.
Bang & Olufsen's BeoLab 3500 and 6000 are mostly made of Aluminium and plastics, I can only imagine how those speakers would sound like in a Bamboo enclosure. The industrial method of making tubular wooden objects is costly and wastes a lot of wood in the making, that might be the reason cylinder shaped wooden speakers are hardly seen if at all.
When I think of designing the system I try to imagine how it would look in it's natural surrounding, which objects are around it, what kind of materials, who are the users, how would they accept such a system ? As replied before some think it is a joke... believe me I am serious as a hart attack. but all of these factors are to be considered.
Why do you like the idea? Why not?

About materials, that's a tricky one, which ones go together with bamboo ? I like the concept of using glass and next week I will blow glass in to a bamboo and see the effect it has.
What kind of materials is your HiFi system made of ? and how does it mix with it's surrounding?
drummerman - "Glass speakers exist, bamboo capacitors have been used/designed by
Technics in the early 90's so what is your 'bamboo designed Hi-Fi
system?"
well drummerman, the innovation here is the usage of bamboo as a motif with other materials which unifies the whole system. Glass speakers exists but mostly gust glass. Bamboo Hi Fi system capacitors I haven't seen and I will be more than happy if you could share some interesting links.
Blessing on you all,
Muli.
and no I don't mean to mock you
