Description
Unlock exceptional acoustic performance for your instruments with our Master grade Mandolin wedge Sitka Spruce sets. Sourced from the world’s finest old-growth tonewoods, these non-figured mandolin tops offer luthiers an exceptional foundation for crafting instruments with superior clarity, projection, and enduring beauty. Each Master grade Mandolin wedge soundboard is meticulously prepared to ensure optimal resonant properties, making it the ideal choice for professional instrument builders and discerning hobbyists alike.
Our Master grade Mandolin wedge sets are produced from the finest tonewood fiber available. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce, these booksets are cut to approximately 1″ thick x 16+” long x 6″ wide and taper to 5/16″ thick at 5.5″ width. The growth texture averages 16 or more lines per inch, indicating the dense, stable wood characteristic of premium mandolin tops.
Enhanced Resonance and Tonal Excellence for Your Mandolin
Achieve an extraordinary sound profile with our Master grade Mandolin wedge sets. The natural aging process, spanning centuries within old-growth Sitka Spruce, creates wood fiber with unparalleled resonant properties. This results in exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratios that translate into superior projection, dynamic range, and crystal-clear articulation for your mandolin. Unlike plantation-grown alternatives, this naturally seasoned tonewood delivers the depth and complexity of tone that professional mandolin luthiers seek for their finest instruments.
