This may be a silly question but what type of wood is usually used for the soundboards of original 17th century baroque guitars?
I am just looking through the RCM catalogue and it just says "front fine-grained" of "fine to medium grained". Are soundboards ever made of cypress wood? As ever Monica -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
