Merci, Mathieu! It is sitka spruce, I believe. It has been colour stained to have a darker colour. Mine has some custom features: prolonged fretboard with 27 frets (high c and g) and a floating bridge. Mats Nordwall normally makes his folk instruments with a fixed bridge, but I like the floating bridge because I can make vibrato behind the bridge (as I do in the end). But the fixed bridge is very nice to. It is more or less the same specs as here www.nordwallinstrument.com/eng%20stor%20cittern.html
