THE RISOUD FOREST
A living heritage
In the heart of the Vaud Jura, the Risoud forest is home to exceptional spruce, prized for its resonance for generations.
This forest is far more than a place where wood grows. It is a living heritage, shaped by time, by the land and by the people who keep it alive.
Before it becomes a soundboard, every tree carries a story: that of a forest, and of skills handed down through generations.
This is where the story of Swiss Moon Spruce begins.
AN EXCEPTIONAL FOREST
The massif
The Risoud forest covers thousands of hectares in the heart of the Vaud Jura.
A unique, preserved ecosystem, known for its exceptional natural conditions.
Tonewood
Risoud spruce stands out for its extremely fine, even growth rings. They give these trees unique acoustic qualities, making them one of the most sought-after tonewoods in the world.
A craft
From forestry to wood selection, a chain of skills links foresters, sawmills and luthiers. Precise gestures and knowledge handed down through generations reveal the full potential of these exceptional trees.
An origin
The Risoud is a land, its people and a living history. Here, in this iconic forest, Swiss Moon Spruce is born and a new chapter of lutherie is written.
