Boards--Dal Negro From:   Erin Address:   hera@optonline.net Date:   14 January 2004 Subject:   Dal Negro Forum:   rec.games.backgammon Google:   cd03fd21.0401141221.367c7fcd@posting.google.com Does anyone have experience with Dal Negro boards, specifically leather with "pulsar inlay" (such as model 308)? Is the board worth the money? And what is pulsar, anyway? Patti Beadles  writes: I have a Dal Negro board that I'm very happy with. It's not nearly as nice as the (no longer made, I believe) Werner Dressen boards that I've been lusting after for years, but it's quite nice. -Patti Adam Stocks  writes: I'm not sure what 'pulsar' is, but I have found the Dal Negro boards to be very nice to play on - and good value for money. Adam fiore  writes: hi, I am from Italy. I bought, a couples of years ago, a wonderful leather Dal Negro board (about 550 euro). The leather is unsticking from all the outside corners and from the bar. The board is too heavy. The shop here in Milano that used to sell only Dal Negro boards is not dealing with them anymore, too many complaints from the customers. Now they sell only a new brand of boards, manufactured in Italy for the French Federation. ciao fiore   Did you find the information in this article useful?           Do you have any comments you'd like to add?
