Description

Ziricote is dense, brittle and unpleasant to bend, and we use it anyway. On a small body it does something rosewood cannot quite manage: it adds a hard reflective surface that lifts projection without smearing the note. The spider-web figure across the back is structural grain, not veneer.

The top is pale alpine spruce, light and very stiff for its weight, paired with a lighter bracing pattern because this top simply did not need more.
