Acousonix Premium Rated Wood

These tops represent a small, hand-selected group sourced annually in Europe by Bryan Galloup. Each piece is chosen from a limited yield, based on strict evaluation standards and measurable acoustic performance.

Every top is evaluated using stiffness-to-weight, density, and frequency analysis, utilizing methods associated with the Acousonix Frequency Hammer and the Acousonix Calculator. Selection is based on how the material responds as a soundboard, not visual appearance alone.

These are among the highest-grade and most selectively sourced tops available, representing material that meets a narrow range of acoustic criteria.

The top is the primary driver of an instrument’s voice, and differences in physical properties directly influence tonal outcome.

All pieces are one-of-one and sold as pictured.

Each listing represents a unique top. These premium-rated tops are sold individually.
