The back and sides of my zithers can be Walnut, Cherry, Oak or Mahogany. The soundboard (the front of the instrument) usually is a quality tonewood; either Redwood, Spruce, Mahogany or Cedar with either a comet or star like sound hole design. Some of the sides of my instruments may be of Curly or Birdseye Maple or other exotic woods I have left over. (see photos below).
