Thanks for this. Of course, it does nothing to cure my quena acquisition syndrome. gregwhistle wrote: Big_e wrote: Yes it is. A shame since it is such a beautiful wood too.

[ Thread revival ] Darn - this is what I've got! I bought a quenacho made from Jacardana and I got an almost immediate reaction to it. When I put the instrument to my chin/lips I felt a hot, acidic sensation and then I cam up with a red welt on my lower lip. However, because of its position, I presumed the reaction was caused by my concert flute whose lacquer had worn down. I have an allergy to nickel, so I assumed it was that and send my flute to be re-lacquered. It turns out that the lip-plate was brass (it's a cheap, student flute). So, I've just had another go on the quenacho and, yes, I experienced that burning sensation on my lower lip. I've tried holding my quenacho against the underside of my forearm for five minutes to see if I get a reaction but I don't. My theory is that the reaction only happens around the lips and chin because of the fact that the material is held against a) a relatively sensitive area of skin b) with some pressure c) for some time and possibly d) on a frequent basis, so the combination of all these creates the reaction. But I'm no dermatologist. Shame though - my first quena/illo/acho and I'm allergic to the thing! I'll try medical tape.

[THREAD REVIVAL - MOD] I hope it's okay to revive the thread briefly. I benefited from it and wanted to add to it. I quit playing my rosewood (jararanda) kena/quena I bought from Andean Nation because of a sore that would develop under my lip after playing it. I assumed it was due to the pressure. After reading this thread I realized it could be the wood. Not having any medical tape, I just put a bandaid over the bottom of the tube. It seems to have completely solved the problem and I can now play as much as I want! Great for me, not so great for my wife! Thanks, chiffandfipple.
