Contre-éclisses, tasseaux et coins peuvent être en sapin, en saule, en peuplier, ou en tout autre bois léger. Les arbres sont sélectionnés avant dêtre abattus, et le luthier, ou le bûcheron spécialiste, apprécie leurs qualités sonores en frappant le tronc de sa hachette.

Linings, blocks and corners can be made out of pine, willow, poplar or any other light wood. The trees are carefully selected before being chopped down, and the violin maker, or the expert woodcutter, can determine their sound qualities by tapping the trunk with a hatchet. By following established precise criteria, he can determine whether a pine tree, for instance, is apt to produce a high-resonance wood. There are several parameters that determine such quality with respect to the geographic location of the tree (slope, wind, altitude, climate, soil).
