Tops

Bandurria dimension Tops (400x160x4 mm)x2

Bandurria top is the main vibrating element of the instrument. The top consist of two symmetrical joined wood pieces , same as the backs.

The grains of the wood top are highly important interacting with the vibratory waves forcing them to change direction, forcing them to form a curve. It is easy to think that the waves of the top are spread faster longitudinally that’s why luthiers always look for tops with straight , tight and parallel grain.

Tops can be made in different woods, but the most sought are the European spruce, the Engelmann Spruce and the Canadian Red Cedar. All of them , soft woods and very delicate.
