Red Spruce, also known as Adirondack Spruce, is a tree native to eastern North America. It is rather hard and dense for a softwood, and it is this density that makes it desirable as a tonewood. It is more resonant than Sitka, and is used primarily on high-end instruments. Many players consider Adirondack Spruce to be a large contributing factor in the much sought-after tone of pre-war era instruments. Unfortunately, trees large enough to cut instrument billets from are in short supply, and this scarcity is reflected in Adirondack's pricing and availability. Call for availability- not all grades are available in all sizes.
