Blocks & Linings Set - Violin

Blocks are important elements in the construction of violins, playing a crucial role in the structure and optimization of the instrument's sound. Blocks can be made from different types of wood, but the most common are spruce and willow.

Spruce blocks are often used in violins because this type of wood has good resistance and uniform density, allowing for the even transmission of string vibrations.

Willow is known for its flexibility and strength, making it an excellent choice for violin blocks. Additionally, willow has the ability to transmit vibrations evenly, allowing for better response to lower notes.

The choice of one or the other depends on the preferences of the luthier and the desired sound result.
