Hello ... and ...
greetings from Taiwan. Yesterday, high in the Taiwan mountains, I came accross a house being repaired. A piece of old Formosa spruce ... (1/4 inch thick, 30 inches long, 7 inches wide {with a nail hole about one inch in from the side -- deadcenter lengthwise})... was laying on the ground nearby. The wood seems to be quarter sawn with very tight straight grains. The owner let me have it and told me it was from a very large ... old growth ... high mountain tree.
I think the wood might make an excellent soundboard. However,
finding an instrument maker here is hard. So, I can't get a good
evaluation of the wood or advice about what kind of instrument
would
be appropriate for this piece of wood. (I play guitar ... but
would
consider having the wood made into another instrument if it is not
big enough.)
As you run a school for luthiers I would like to ask if it would
be
possible to have one of your students craft an instrument for me.
I would, of course, pay for all the materials needed. In this way
I could get a good instrument at a good price (Missionary salaries
are not high.) and your student could get experience.
