"Granite is less resonant than wood"
Is it? Less resonant than some woods, or than all woods?
One of the stone musical instruments on the disc I referred to is made from granite. It's made from a cube of granite 1 metre on each dimension, that's a cube with 40" sides. It is played by being struck with percussion mallets on one track, and simply rubbed with a wet cloth on others, and it produces a reasonable volume with each technique. I wonder whether a similar instrument made from wood, though the choices of timber allowing a solid cube that size to be cut from a single piece is limited, would be much different. A lot would depend on just what the timber was.
Have you some evidence for your statement other than a feeling that heavier bodies are less resonant than lighter bodies? That is not universally true, even in timbers.
As for reading what Jay said, he spoke about where to obtain stone offcuts cheaply. He did not address their properties. I replied to it not to contradict what he said but simply because it was the simplest way to post a response which addressed claims in a number of the earlier responses. If I was only trying to respond to one earlier poster, I would have responded directly to it.
