Maple Tonewood

Scientific name :- Picea abies
Family :-Picea excelsa
Origin :-There are approximately 125 species, most of which are native to Asia, with a number also appearing in Europe, northern Africa, and North America.

Maple is considered a tonewood, or a wood that carries sound waves well, and is used in numerous musical instruments. Maple is harder and has a brighter sound than Mahogany, which is the other major tonewood used in instrument manufacture

Tonewood is carefully radial cut, but is also available hand-split for violin, viola, and mandolin. Pieces supplied for violin measure approximately 18 inches (45 cm) long, 6 inches (15 cm) wide, and about 2 inches (5 cm) on the thick end of the wedge, and are therefore of sufficient size for viola and most arch-top mandolin.
