Detail:

The walnut is a like the best of both mahogany and rosewood. Its rich and complex tone has the colour and fullness of rosewood and the "snappiness" of mahogany. Players often think that the walnut seems to have a better response than rosewood, similar to maple. All in all, it offers a truly unique sound, suitable for all styles.
