An Introduction To Wood Species, Part 4: Maple
Ha! I missed that the first time, agreed.
Also, I would like to add that, within tone woods, the high wood density of Maple resonates the high register especially well. This makes maple an excellent addition to the somewhat darker sounding but excellent tone wood mahogany, which most wooden instruments consist of. This is also why you will rarely see a instrument purely build from maple.
There are some exceptions of course, although these instruments will likely be so heavy that it will be uncomfortable to use over a longer period of time.
