Chinese Kaya or Japanese Kaya

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

Please be sure to let us know how the board sound when you place a stone on it. I wonder if table Kaya boards retain the sharp 'click' of a floor board. Thanks.

I read somewhere that a floor goban sometimes has a pyramid on the bottom put there to enhance the sound of the stone clicking and reverberating through the board. Unfortunately I have nothing to compare the sound to, although it does have a nice click.

The last several images on this link are pictures of my new goban with my shell and slate stones on it.
