FROM TREE TO MATERIAL

Swiss Moon Spruce is far more than wood. It is the fruit of a unique ecosystem, forestry know-how and a demanding preparation that reveals a living material, ready to vibrate.

A UNIQUE ORIGIN

Swiss Moon Spruce comes from the Risoud forest, an iconic massif of the Vaud Jura, where natural conditions give slow, even growth, ideal for lutherie.

A DEMANDING SELECTION

Only a few trees that meet strict criteria are selected for the quality of their structure, density and acoustic properties.

CONTROLLED DRYING AND CONDITIONING

The wood is cut, slowly dried and stabilised over several months to preserve its qualities and ensure optimal stability.

EXCEPTIONAL ACOUSTIC POTENTIAL

This preparation reveals a material that carries sound with richness, precision and depth, giving luthiers an ideal foundation for exceptional guitars.
