NOTES & CURIOSITIES
Poplar and Poplar Root
These two woods are actually one and the same. The difference lies in the highly decorative appearance of the root wood, where there are eye-like knots and usually marbling. Poplar is considered one of the best-performing woods in acoustic terms when it comes to solid wood percussion. We recommend it because it emphasizes base tones and responds well to the classical musicians’ touch.
