AAA Non-Figured Sitka Spruce Cello Front โ Fine Grain
Cut from a very old blow-down tree estimated from the early 1970s based on surrounding growth patterns, these 2-piece book-set fronts feature fine, straight grain averaging approximately 16 lines per inch. The color is fairly even creamy white with some prominent winter growth lines (not compression wood). These soundboard tops are produced from the finest tonewood fiber in the world, sourced from salvaged old-growth Sitka Spruce timber.
Enhanced Resonance for Your Cello Front
This AAA-grade Sitka Spruce Cello Front originates from centuries-old timber, offering an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio crucial for superior sound projection and dynamic range. The natural aging process of this old-growth wood fiber creates enhanced resonant properties, providing tonal quality unmatched by younger, plantation-grown alternatives. Luthiers will appreciate the deep, complex overtones and clear articulation that this spruce soundboard brings to every instrument.
