Walnut is an excellent tonewood. Tonally, it it often compared to Koa but louder and more projectile. The low-end and mid-range response, when paired with a Yellow Cedar top, provides a balanced sound. It brings bright treble notes along with a present mid-range that lands between rosewood and mahogany. The bass tones are present and yet grow richer with time and extended play.
