I actually never heard an instrument with it, but I have done projects with it (jewlery box). I remember it being fairly difficult to work with, it was very hard, and I had to be very careful not to burn the wood with the circular and jig saw. When a species is difficult to cut do to the fiber density, it burns if the saw is rotating against it for too long, maple is a bad burner. Thats about it, man I wish shop class wasnt right after lunch, I would have remembered sooo much more.
