MB Exclusive European Spruce Viola Top Nº9

General Description European Spruce Viola Top MB Exclusive Nº9:

This MB Exclusive Nº9 European Spruce Top is a unique and exclusive product for those looking to differentiate their instrument.

European Spruce (Picea Abies) is an evergreen tree and is considered one of the best tonewoods. A tonewood, in general, is any wood that is used to make a musical instrument. Spruce has been highly desired as a tonewood for many and varied reasons. As far as tonewoods go, spruce has a very good stiffness-to-weight ratio, which means that although it is light and has to be carved down to a thin thickness to make a viola, it is still very strong. This is perfect for a viola, as the wood must be able to retain its shape and withstand the constant tension produced by the strings. And although spruce is a soft wood, it is also very dense. It is this density that really allows the sound vibrations of a viola to resonate through its structure. A wood that is too porous is not as efficient at transmitting sound.
