It's Rosewood. Thank you for your interest!

THIS COMBINATION OF CEDER ON WALNUT IS MY FAVORITE FOR PERCUSIVE AND MELODIC CELTIC FINGER STYLE GUITAR. JUST THE PERFECT UNION OF TONE WOODS.

@snapperjohn1000 Thanks a lot... we really felt like it worked beautifully here as well!

many people who play lowdens say they're almost exclusively finger picking/percussive guitars. i was warned to at least not buy an S-model for strumming. i spoke to someone who strummed several lowdens and he described it like this: the notes wouldn't blend and harmonize as well, it seemed like it was unbalanced and every note tried to be the sharpest and loudest. i would love to hear your input on this, are they versatile guitars which also sound great while strumming? your videos sound great!

@mcFifo2007 Thanks for the comment! It is true that many people prefer to use Lowdens for fingerstyle, but I wouldn't say that you couldn't use them for strumming. The S series has a different voice from your typical dreadnought, but that doesn't mean it won't sound good while strumming. It just sounds like a Lowden! So, like most things in this field, it really just boils down to preference. Hope this helps!

This song really sounds like "Ruebens train" am i right?

@ChaniBabii Cedar is common in classical guitar tops as it tends to create a warm, thick tone that is a nice compliment to the sound of nylon strings and is desirable for the style. Cedar is a softer wood than spruce and when using cedar it is safer to use nylon strings because they create less tension on the top. Spruce is stiffer and generally creates more volume and punch. In either case, solid woods are ideal as they are far more resonant than laminates. Please feel free to call us!

I'm not sure if you'll reply, but would you mind telling me abit about Cedar guitars?? I'm currently looking for a new guitar after playing a classical for like as long as I can remember. I've been told not to get guitars with spruce tops, but solid spruce, or solid tops. Its really hard finding a guitar that isn't just a plain spruce top that also has a cut away. And I've found one that has a cedar top...Is that any better??

@soundpurestudios by what i can tell by the video it sounds a bit snappy/crisp as well ... ive got a peice of 50 year old walnut that im using to make a guitar and im trying to get an idea of what it would sound like ... thank you for your help
