Hi della, I'm guessing it will sound hollow.
But the difference in sound qualityprobably will be less pronounced if you gently place the stone on the board,
compared to smacking it down.

Okay. Thanks for the help GO is not a dreadfully well known game in Muncie, Indiana. At least not to my knowledge. |

I purchased a go ban with two inch feet. I thought it was cool and had a louder sound, but it wasn't all that accepted at the local go club. Go players generally prefer quiet. Recently I built a headboard for a bed, from a slab of live edge walnut. I was thinking something similar would do well for a go board, especially if it had really figured grain. |

I think hollow boards were common in Korea (and China?). Some even had resonating strings inside. |

Neat idea, it should be crazy loud if you do it right. |

Okay thanks for the suggestion i`m quite new to the game and this isn`t really a well known game where I live, well let it suffice to say that a decent chess player is an oddity as well. |
