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?

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.

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.

hi,
i am from Italy and Dal Negro too.
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

hi again,
I forgot to add this: we have an on line backgammon forum, some days ago a
beginner asked some advice about dal negro. the answer was always the same:
dal negro boards are too expensive and..... a sh***. The only good one is
the Olimipionic Model, but too expensive.
