(From HMS, see link below - not the same individual instrument of course) The torrefied spruce top “was heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable. It's as if the wood is pre-aged. It looks and sounds like wood that's been broken in for many years.
This is coupled with Claro Walnut. This wood for sides and back is known for it's balance and response. Breedlove described it this way. "Warm and earthy with the overtone depth of rosewood and the the clarity of mahogany. It works together with this special spruce perfectly. The new bracing from Kanile'a was introduced on this model . . . to offer stronger structural support with less weight. This super concert has a concert size body and fits into a concert case but it has a tenor scale length neck. This gives the roominess of a tenor neck and adds clarity and sustain to the sound.”
