I build plate reverbs for studios. Wood is not dense enough. I use stainless steel under high tension which gets a long decay time and a bright sound without huge resonant peaks.

The strangest thoughts come on the shitter....
We all love the plate reverb right?
What if one was made with a gigantic sheet of wooden ply instead? Like the top of a violin? What on earth would that sound like as a reverb?
Thought I'd share.
