I made this instrument in 2010.
The back is made out of a piece of "Oppio" maple, the top plate is from a spruce tree that I have found near my birthplace, in Valle d'Aosta. It has a very pronounced "bear-claw" figure and it's density is about 0.46, so it's heavier than usual.
Varnish is a personal recipe similar to the famous Marciana oil varnish, but I made it with walnut oil instead of linseed.
