The Sensual Reverberations Created by 2,000 Years Old YAKUSUGI Cedar. Wood from YAKUSUGI cedar has highly dense wood grains due to life in harsh weather conditions, which allows it to create an organic sound.

The EX2000 uses the finest ‘spruce’ from the South Tyrol region of Northern Italy, where the material for the ‘Stradivarius’ is said to have been harvested. Its surface is coated with an ultra-fine powder allowing it to reproduce the natural sound.

The finest spruce harvested from the same forest as “Stradivarius”

We use the finest “spruce” for the body shell that is harvested in the northern Italian South Tyrol region and used as the top wood for violins.

The northern Italian South Tyrol region is said to be the forest area where materials for the renowned “Stradivarius” were harvested. We carefully select and cultivate the highest quality spruce from this area, and it undergoes rigorous management during the drying process.
