How does the Model 818 Genuine Oak Model compare?

Although all the Maelzel models that we sell are made of solid wood, many are made from the wood of trees found local to the factory in Germany - principally Aldewood - and given a Mahogany, Walnut, or other stain.  The model 818 genuine Oak model, however, is made from the seasoned wood of a genuine Oak tree, and given a natural matte finish.  Lighter in color than the genuine Walnut model, the genuine Oak wood panels have a particularly beautiful and distinctive grain.

This model also comes with the optional bell chime, popular with teachers and used to emphasize the down beat of each measure.
