This design permits complete freedom of movement, while acting as a homogenous unit to displace a greater amount of air, thereby creating a richer and more lasting tonal response. Close-grained, quarter-sawn Sitka or European spruce, a wood having unusual stability and vibrance under stress and vibration, is used exclusively for the soundboard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eRibs \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e Made from durable, resinous sugar pine to assure strong and constant support of string down-bearing on the soundboard.
