Being a popular name in the market, Yamaha uses premium quality woods to make violins. The manufacturer first preserves the wood at a cold temperature for several years, resulting in a rigid piece of spruce. Solid yet light spruce is used at the top of the violins, whereas both sides are made of maple. The tailpiece, chinrest, and pegs are made of rosewood. Note that this is just a standard combination of materials, and it may vary depending on the model and price.
