Thank you all for your answers. It seems that most makers don't use pear wood just for aesthetic reasons. I love its colour though and think that I'll go to get a block tomorrow. I'm really curious for the result. Alex To get on or off this list see list information at

Hi dear all, after sorting out the disadvantages of mahogany in lute construction, can we discuss about pearwood? It is a wood that I rarely see being used in lutes. The point is that I like it a lot but I'm a bit hesitant to use it. Any opinions? Thanks, Alex To get on or off this list
