Playing guitar with eco-friendly wood

The Spanish guitar and the classical guitar can now be found on the market today in their variants made from natural, eco-friendly wood. This is good news for all those who didn't want to give up playing the guitar because the instrument wasn't made from environmentally friendly materials. Numerous voices in the music world have taken it upon themselves to fight for a quality environment. Among them, famous musicians and guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, and Pete Townshend (of The Who), who have requested that wood extracted from forests be certified under sustainable logging criteria. Music for eco-friendly guitars of the same quality as conventional guitars is the ambitious challenge set by companies dedicated to this sector. Worthy of note in this regard is the work of companies such as the American company Blackbird Guitars, which has achieved surprising results in sound quality by manufacturing its guitars with a paste derived from a plant called Ekoa. There are still efforts and challenges ahead to demonstrate to the general public that new materials guarantee good results with the same quality. Well-known stars have already taken a step forward, but it remains to be seen whether all those professionals and amateurs will discover in organic wood a serious and effective alternative to traditional wood. All Manufacturas Alhambra SL's wood suppliers are companies of recognized solvency in the sector, most of which hold environmental certifications that ensure reforestation. Depending on the country of origin of the wood, each supplier complies with current regulations. For example, all our imports of Indian Rosewood come from government public auctions, where our suppliers purchase logs that are sawn in India according to our specifications. Another example would be our ebony supplier, which by law contributes an annual amount equivalent to a percentage of its turnover, which the government allocates to reforestation.
