Piece for 2 Upper and Lower Violin/Viola Blocks European Spruce

Description of Piece for 2 Upper and Lower Violin/Viola Blocks European Spruce

This European spruce piece, from which the top and bottom bout blocks of the violin or viola are cut, is essential for its characteristics: it is light, resistant and can withstand tension without deformation. Since it is square shaped and close to the required final dimensions, it allows significant savings in time and effort during the construction of the instrument. This is particularly useful for luthiers or amateurs who do not have special machines or tools, as it offers a practical and efficient solution for making blocks without compromising the quality or precision of the work.


The upper block guarantees a firm grip of the handle, supporting the constant pressure of the strings, while the lower block holds the button that fixes the tailpiece and the strings, ensuring a correct distribution of tension. Thanks to the strength and flexibility of European spruce, these blocks contribute to a durable and efficient construction, both structurally and acoustically.
