Spruce Topwood Informational Video here

A comprehensive education about spruce wood and stringed instrument tops.

This is Bruce, Collings head luthier. Although he is discussing guitars, I would guess much of this information is true of ukulele spruce, too.

I post here hoping that you will, like me, find this fun and educational.

That was great Steve. Thanks for posting it. Although not earth shattering information wise, it was very interesting. I did see a stack of ukulele tops there as well leaning against the wall on Bruce's bench.

True, it is interesting. Especially for Collings enthusiasts.

Thanks for the great video.

I love that they put tone before aesthetics when it comes to wood choice. I couldn't agree more.
