Spruce species tonal differences
First off I apologize. I'm sure this has been covered before, but I searched and wasn't able to find it. I did find a really informative article in Acoustic Guitar magazine, but it pertained only to guitars. So, assuming the top wood (without regard to carving and luthier skill) has the greatest affect on tone, what tonal differences could on expect between the various species of spruce. If someone wants to throw in some comments on the various types of cedar and or redwood too, go for it. In my mando journey I've had many of the various species and while they all sound different, it could be (probably is) just the different instruments in question. Plus my ear is not that good so that would play into it as well. So ???
Thanks
Several mandolins of varying quality-any one of which deserves a better player than I am.......
