木料古乐器制作师用来制琴的木料有下列几种:面板大多用的是云杉,较少用松木和冷杉;背板、侧板和琴头用的是各种不同槭木、杨木、白桦木、梨木等;琴内部分(如边条和角木等)则用的是云杉、赤杨、椴木、柳木、红木。云杉的优良共振品质在很遥远的“提琴史前”时期就已为人发现,人们注意到槭木的优秀音质则晚得多。 There are several types of lumber used to make the harp: the spruce is mostly used in the panels, the pine and the fir are seldom used, the back, the side panels and the fretboard are made of various maple and poplar , Birch wood, pear wood, etc .; Qin part (such as the edge and corner wood, etc.) are used spruce, alder, basswood, willow, mahogany. The excellent resonance quality of spruce was discovered in the very far “prehistoric period of the violins”, and people noticed that the excellent sound quality of maple trees was much later.
