In this case the fingerboard does not touch the soundboard since the 14th-15th fret to the sound hole, letting the table freer to vibrate.
Touching the back, the players with his body absorb vibrations and take away energy, so that I make a shell using wood and carbon fiber, interposed between the instrument and the body of the player letting the instrument free to vibrate.
To varnish I use only shellac.
The soundboard can be of spruce or cedar.
The back of maple, cypress and different kind of rosewood (Indian, Brazilian, Honduras, Cocobolo, Madagascar). The neck is of Cedrela of Mahogany. The fingerboard is of ebony.
