High Grade Western Red Cedar Dyre Harp Guitar Top Set: Exceptional Tonewood for Master Builders

Elevate your instrument building with our High grade Western Red Cedar Dyre harp guitar top set, meticulously sourced for professional luthiers. These exceptional AAA and AAAA grade soundboard sets offer remarkable tonal characteristics, featuring a remarkably clean and homogeneous color profile rarely found in old-growth Western Red Cedar. Perfect for crafting exquisite Dyer style instruments, each harp guitar top set delivers the fine texture and acoustic superiority demanded by discerning builders of custom harp guitars.

Enhanced Resonance for Your Harp Guitar Soundboard

Experience unparalleled sonic depth and clarity with our carefully selected Western Red Cedar harp guitar top set. Sourced from ancient, naturally seasoned old-growth timber, this exceptional wood provides an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio essential for superior tonewood performance. This critical characteristic translates into superior projection and a wide dynamic range, allowing your harp guitar to produce rich, complex overtones and remarkable sustain. The natural aging process of these timbers enhances their resonant properties, creating a tonal warmth and responsiveness unmatched by younger, plantation-grown alternatives, making it an ideal choice for any master luthier seeking authentic soundboard materials.

Our Western Red Cedar Dyre-sized harp guitar top sets are specifically dimensioned for 2-piece Dyer style harp guitar construction. This is among the cleanest, most homogeneous color red cedar available. While substantial red cedar grows on Prince Of Wales Island, most exhibits pronounced color variation and striping. Most boards large enough for wide, clear, extended cuts typically display 2 distinct colors—brown and blonde—within the same board. These exceptional sets maintain one clean, consistent color throughout, with fine texture characteristic of even old-growth specimens.

When ordering multiple harp guitar top sets, you may receive 3 sequentially cut boards measuring 44 inches long x 10+ inches wide, where the middle board can be divided lengthwise to create matching sides for each guitar soundboard. Our current inventory consists of 2 sets of 3 sequentially cut boards in a clean blonde tone. A single top purchase may comprise 1 long board for the harp side and 1 shorter board for the guitar side—all bookset cut for perfect grain matching and visual continuity.

These harp guitar top sets are produced from the finest tonewood fiber available globally, sourced exclusively from salvage-recovered old-growth Western Red Cedar.
