Mason & Hamlin web site states: "Mason & Hamlin uses white spruce for its soundboards. White spruce provides a higher strength per weight ratio than the more widely used sitka spruce. This gives the white spruce soundboard better resistance to compression." I thought sitka had a greater strength/weight ratio. And does white spruce have a greater compression strength? Terry Farrell
