Different wood grades and processed products have unique characteristics. For example, the density of wood will affect how the material sounds. Here you can weight and play, test and touch different wood grades and materials!

Wood is warm, economical, readily available, renewable, recyclable, breathable, flexible, resonant, homely, fragrant, appealing to the touch… Different wood grades and species each have their unique properties. A piece from a pine tree, for instance, is lighter than the same sized piece cut from a spruce, which means that the density of these two is different. That is why same-size wooden items have a different weight, produce different sounds and feel different depending on the type of wood used. The feel and properties of wood can be altered using various processing and finishing techniques. Furthermore, new, wood-based materials even come with completely novel features such as water resistance.
