What is Dymondwood®?
Dymondwood® is a renewable material made by laminating northern birch in a tough resin under heat and pressure. The resulting material is perfect for instruments. It is free of knots or twisted grain, it is strong, has no internal stresses, maintains shape, has good weight, it cuts beautifully, and buffs to a high polish that lasts for years without maintenance. We have made several types of instruments in Dymondwood®; it looks like the best Honduras Rosewood while the tone, natural beauty, and playing characteristics are the best around. Dymondwood® repels moisture; still, it’s best to store the instrument disassembled so the cork will stay elastic and seal the mortise and tenon joint between the head and the body.
