Tonewood

Tonewood refers to specific types of wood selected for musical instruments, especially guitars, violins, and pianos, because of their ability to produce high-quality sound. Different woods, like spruce, mahogany, and maple, have unique acoustic properties, affecting the instrument's tone, volume, and resonance. For instance, spruce is often used for soundboards due to its bright, clear sound, while mahogany can add warmth and depth. The choice of tonewood significantly influences the instrument's overall character and how it interacts with the player’s technique and musical style.
