Vertical and radial variation in wood acoustical and physical properties of Ailanthus altissima by Khaled T. S. Hassan, Jan Tippner

“…Importantly, density could be used as an indicator for acoustic conversion efficiency, enabling indirect assessment of acoustic performance. These variations highlight the potential of selecting specific stem regions to balance sound transmission and structural support, suggesting that Ailanthus altissima (ailanthus tree) could replace traditional woods for the backs and sides of stringed instruments. …”
