My daughter has a carbon fiber fiddle, the "sound post" or whatever it is called is wood. Everything else is composite.

Making the soundpost out of wood (even in a CF violin family instrument) is quite common.

Yo Yo Ma has a carbon fiber cello, . . . for use when his two wood cellos (valued at around $1 Million or more each) are getting a rest.
