Our woods are our biggest asset. Their quality is a direct influence on the finished instrument whose importance no other factor can match. A key component that allows for only the best possible wood quality is an ideal drying process at carefully chosen conditions. Outdoor drying is the most natural technique and allows for the most gentle process by means of the natural evaporation of the humidity contained within the wood
