The Japanese pay absurd prices to import this wood for their stringed instruments, mainly the Koto. It makes the best soundboards. A few Luthiers have suggested Paulownia may outperform Sitka. In fact, it has a higher strength to weight ratio than Honduran Mahogany! https://www.pegheadnation.com/instruments-gear/fine-lutherie/tony-yamamoto-omy-paulownia-demo/ Paulownia necks need carbon reinforcement. I've included the necessary carbon to make two 32nd or 16th thick x 1/2" wide strips on each side of the truss rod. While Paulownia should be used to brace the top, its not as necessary for the back. Plain spruce can be used. However, if you want Paulownia back bracing, send me an email after you buy. I'll send the necessary Paulownia and carbon to laminate the braces. *These sets should be used with Paulownia soundboards to get the sound you heard in the video. Since people like to use Paulownia tops by themselves I sell those separately. You can find those on my seller page! ★Remember!★ Because of its softness it is recommended to join the bridge and bridgeplate through the board with plugs so the bridge cannot peel up. *★Ring spacing in hardwoods★* The ratio of latewood to earlywood is reversed in ring-porous hardwoods. This means that unlike softwood, a wider ring spacing in ring-porous hardwood is stronger. Harvested in central Pennsylvania! Nyle's low temp. dehumidification kilned to 6%. Equalized and conditioned. Shipping charge is by location. Multiple items will be combined in one box. Drum sanded thicknessing upon request! Just send me a message as soon as you buy. ★--Key--★ 1=Light 2=Average 3=Higher 4=Exceptional 5=Master ★-------★ (Dimensions listed in "Item specifics".) *"True grain slope" takes into account the "grain slope" of both the radial and tangential faces of the wood* *Surfaced to 120 grit* I'm looking for feedback. Please leave me notes as far as how you prefer part dimensions and construction or species you'd like me to change or supply. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★MORE SPECIES IN THE STORE★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
