Playing guitar with eco-friendly wood

The Spanish and classical guitars can now be found on the market today in their variants made from natural ecological wood. This is good news for all those who did not want to give up playing the guitar, because this instrument is not made from materials that are ecological.

There are many voices in the music world who 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 group The Who), who have requested that the wood extracted from forests be certified under sustainable logging criteria.

Music for the guitar that is ecological and of the same quality as conventional guitar music is the ambitious challenge that companies dedicated to this sector are setting themselves. It is worth highlighting in this direction the work of companies such as the American Blackbird Guitars, which has obtained 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 prove to the general public that new materials guarantee a good result with the same quality. The well-known stars have already taken a step forward, now it remains to be seen whether all those professionals and amateurs discover in ecological wood a serious and effective alternative to traditional wood.

All of Manufacturas Alhambra SL's wood suppliers are companies with recognized solvency in the sector, with the majority having environmental certifications that ensure reforestation . Depending on the country of origin of the wood, each supplier company adopts the current regulations, so that, for example, all of our imports of Indian Rosewood come from government public auctions, where our suppliers acquire the logs that are sawn in India according to our specifications. Another case would be that of our ebony supplier, which by law contributes an annual amount equivalent to a percentage of its turnover and which the government dedicates to reforestation.
