Tops

The Ukulele top is surely the most important part of the instrument to transmit the desired sound. Both tops and backs can be built in one piece or in two symmetrical pieces as the guitar is built.

Maderas barber decided to eliminate the inferior qualities in its selection process for this type of instruments, and we decided to group the medium and high qualities into one standard, thus raising the quality level of our woods.

The European Spruce, the American Spruce or Engelman and the Canadian Red Cedar are the queen when choosing the wood for the top of any stringed instrument. The three woods can be found in Maderas Barber.
