Thank you very much.
as a decidely "amateur" luthier I understand the desire to use a more economical cut for the top. I know I can get good wide white pine boards, aged well, for a lot less than even an economical quartered filch of fir.
I'm sure the difference was even greater when everything had to be floated down rivers, and carried on mules backs!
