Description

Experience the exceptional acoustic quality of our AA-grade Red cedar mandolin Flat-top soundboards, meticulously sourced from salvage-recovered old-growth Western Red Cedar. Crafted for discerning luthiers, these tonewoods provide the ideal foundation for building exceptional flat-top mandolins, baritone ukuleles, and bouzoukis, delivering a rich, warm, and resonant tone that only centuries-old wood can provide.

Flat Top Mandolin/Baritone Ukulele/Bouzouki

Most 2-piece bookset boards are cut 6″ x 15-16 inches long, though they may not pattern across the full width and length. These tops pattern per half with the following dimensions: Lower bout width 5-5.75 inches, waist 3.25-3.5 inches, upper bout 3.75-3.875 inches x 13-14 inches long, which aligns with standard baritone ukulele patterns. If your measurements approach these dimensions, we recommend noting your specific project requirements in the order comments during checkout, or contacting us prior to ordering.

Enhanced Acoustic Resonance for Your Red Cedar Mandolin Flat-top

Unlock the full tonal potential of your instruments with our AA Western Red cedar mandolin Flat-top soundboards. The natural aging process of old-growth Western Red Cedar imbues the wood with exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and enhanced resonant properties. This results in clear, warm, and articulate sound with outstanding projection and dynamic range, significantly surpassing plantation-grown alternatives. Luthiers will appreciate the wood’s consistent response and beautiful overtones, ideal for crafting truly exceptional flat-top instruments.
