These exquisite booksets, crafted from salvage-recovered old-growth Sitka Spruce, deliver exceptional tonal character and unique visual appeal for your next masterpiece.

Enhanced Resonance for Your Instruments

Crafted from centuries-old, salvage-recovered timber, our AA TP SS Classical soundboard tops deliver an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio that translates into remarkable projection, wide dynamic range, and crystal-clear tonal clarity. The natural aging process of old-growth Sitka Spruce enhances the wood fibers, resulting in resonant properties unmatched by younger, plantation-grown alternatives. This figured soundboard material provides the perfect foundation for a truly sonorous instrument with superior tonal response.
