Sound Board Aging

Redifining standards through soundboard aging

A unique Boucher family process – resonance aging – refines Adirondack wood to give certain guitars incomparable heart.  The unfinished guitar top is subjected to a controled aging environment. It matures like a fine port or quality wine, developing new properties as the wood top absorbs, reverberates and is transformed by sound.

The Boucher's acoustic chamber is filled with music 24 hours a day, music that surronds ans ages the suspended wood. This resonance makes the wood vibrate, alowing the Adirondack wood - already known for its projective qualities - to mature and become even more sensitive.

Boucher Guitars is aging hundreds of pieces of Adirondack wood. The luthiers have reserved certain quantities of wood for 3, 5 and 10 year collections. The 5 year collection is available since July 2007.
