Just curious if anyone has ordered from Tonewood Switzerland (www.tonewood.ch) and what your experiences were. Thanks, Scott |

Very nice spruce and the folks at Florinett are a pleasure to deal with. Fees and shipping are a little steep but worth it IMO if you order a few tops. Their master grade is what I think of as true master and more than I personally need. Their AAA and even AA/AAA are plenty nice for my purposes. |

+1 Beautiful Spruce, and they are a pleasure to deal with. I have bought plenty of mandolin tops from them and have always been very happy. Usually I get AA or AAA, and that is plenty good enough. I have one master grade top and it is so stunningly good looking I have never used it. As already stated, postage costs are steep, but then postage costs from the USA are steep as well. |

another heads up for florinett. not cheap, but good tonewood. i´ve only bought 8 tops from them (AAA) - half of them were the lightest euro spruce i´ve ever bought (around 350 g/cm3, IIRC), the others were averaging 390-400. Nice tight grain and very consistent color, if that is your thing. And (like Filippo said), nice bracewood. |

It is wonderful stuff. We did a big group buy for the New England guild and everyone was happy. |
