The Broadmann Beethoven Model PE 187 is veneered in burl walnut. A burl is a rounded stump growing out of a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. The veneer is crafted only from trees that grow to 30m high and 2m wide. Second growth trees have a rough single veined structure; late wood also has delicate tangential grain structure which produces radial streaks. Length: 6'2, Width: 5'1, Weight: 705lbs.
