European Maple :
The extraordinary sound of the fine violins, violas and cellos made by the legendary luthiers Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) and Guiseppe Guarneri (1698-1744) is attributed to many factors. Workmanship is of course at the top of the list. So too are the geometrics of form, solid joints, scrollwork detail, symmetry, and a flush fitting bridge – to name a few critical details.
But the most obvious feature that Stradivari, et al. employed was the wood – the european maple that remains today the preferred material for fine instrument making. The characteristics of european maple – referred to as tonewoods, as is also the best spruce that is often used together with european maple – are the subject of centuries of speculation between violinmakers and their many devotees.
