Paul,
Apparently no one replied to the entire list, because I haven't seen any of the negative replies. But I don't see why you can't use cedar. Dan Larson offers cedar sound boards on his lutes. My music teacher had a lute with a cedar soundboard and I thought it sounded wonderful.

Okay. You've all talked me out of the western red cedar for the sound board. As this will be my first lute, I don't really feel the need to

   Thank you all for the comments and advice!


   Now...what to do with that nice piece of cedar I stumbled upon?


   Thanks,


   Paul
