Trees: Our Number One Natural Resource

For Pianos André Bolduc, trees are vital to the production of fine piano components, and the company treats them with the utmost respect. Each century-old spruce is individually selected and harvested during the winter months.

• We only work with suppliers who conduct reforestation and only purchase wood from certified sustainably managed forests.
• We conduct research into the use of finger-jointed spruce soundboards for the Asian market. By using wood that would otherwise be thrown out, we hope to develop a modestly priced wood soundboard without in any way compromising on sound quality. 
• We are constantly researching and developing new ways to optimize the use of our number one raw material—wood.
• We recover wood waste and make it available to local residents. Sawdust is used as litter for small animals on local farms and bark for heating sugar shacks and cottages.
• We sell shorter pieces to Quebec luthiers to be used for acoustic bracing in guitars.
• We recover shorter maple pieces for use by the prestigious German company ABEL of Frankenhardt in piano action parts, such as hammers (Bolduc Blue brand) and shanks.
