Larrivee P-03R JCL Special - Moon Spruce / Rosewood

Jean Larrivée has been busy collecting Austrian Red spruce "Moonwood", originally found in the Black Forest, for a number of years. Using the exacting methods of harvest adopted by Stradivarius, Moonwood, or Moon Spruce is a century-old tradition of falling a specific tree within a list of very specific parameters. This includes falling time in relevance to moon phase, altitude of tree, peak age/size of tree, and finally "forest stabilization". The result is a much stiffer fiber that delivers incredibly spectacular tone.
