I'm very curious how cedar of Lebanon sounds as a top wood. It's a strikingly beautiful tree, often seen in churchyards, that can grow pretty chunky, and down the years I've wondered about its potential use as a tonewood

Yes the cherry is interesting and funny that you say it looks so different to the US variety - I'll have to look it up to see what it looks like. I bought these particular sets off a clasical guitar maker here in the UK called Kevin Aram. He fells and mills his own sets. It's even unusual here for it to be so pinky. I have a number of other sets from another luthier supplier that are more of a golden colour but still beautiful. My parents had a cherry tree in their garden which I used to climb as a kid, it had to come down about a year ago due to disease and I jumped right on getting that timber - which is now currently drying out in my garden to be turned into sets in the future!
