Perfect for my Zhongruan restoration

The grain on this Paulownia board is incredibly straight. It resonated beautifully immediately after installation. Highly recommended for serious luthiers.

Luthier approved

As a professional instrument maker, I am very picky about my soundboards. This piece exceeded my expectations in terms of grain consistency and acoustic response.

Beautiful resonance

Used this for a custom Morin Khuur. The high frequencies are crisp and the sustain is impressive. Great value for the price.

Authentic Lankao material

You can tell this is genuine Lankao Paulownia. The density is perfect for carving the bridge area on a Pipa. Will buy again.

Good tone, slight variation

The sound quality is fantastic. There was a very minor knot near the edge, but it didn't affect the structural integrity or the final sound.

Excellent quality wood

I was worried about shipping damage, but it arrived perfectly packaged. The wood is light yet sturdy, exactly what I needed for my Yueqin project.

5 FAQ
