Re: All Things Being Equal
A Cafe member who hasn't posted in quite a while,had Bruce Weber build him a "Fern" mandolin & specified Red Spruce for the top. I believe that the reasoning was that Red Spruce is more responsive than say,Sitka Spruce. My own Weber "Fern" is Sitka Spruce & it's as responsive as he** !. Having said all that - each single piece of Red Spruce will be different to the next piece - so i don't think that you can reach any solid conclusions re.how 'it' would sound - Philpool has it - ''It depends'',
