Padauk is also known as coral, African coralwood, mututi, ngula, muenge, mbe, mbil, vermillion, yomo, barwood and comwood.
Padauk has straight/interlocked grain with slightly coarse texture. Rich red to purple red and pale-beige are the typical colors.
It is hard, heavy, and strong, it finishes wonderfully and brings out all its splendor when lacquer is applied.
The instruments it produces are simply fantastic. Great tone, stability and unique projection are some of the characteristics of this fabulous wood. Both Cedar and Spruce make for the perfect soundboard.

This particular instrument is simply FABULOUS ! I stared at it for a long times before tuning it an playing it. Recuerdos de la Alhambra never felt so good. The response of cedar is simply outstanding. The whole body vibrates and passes vibrations to the sternon. Sustain and playability are top notch. The ideal instrument for the seasoned concert player.
