ASH FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Important Hardwood Lumber Has Numerous Uses
in All Phases of the Music Industry.
Ash is twelfth in the list of hardwood production,
according to Forest Service. Its habitat covers prac-
tically the entire United States east of the Missis-
sippi. Its uses in the making of musical instruments
are as follows: Piano actions, banjos, drums, harps,
moldings (piano), organ frames, organs, pipe-organ
casting, pipe organs, piano backs, piano bottom
boards, piano cases, piano facings, piano fronts, piano
keys, piano keyboards, piano pilasters, piano players
(inside work), piano tops, talking machines, tambou-
rines.
There are three varieties of ash known commer-
cially and they are respectively the black, white and
green ash and each of these has subordinate species.
In the lumber trade ash is often not distinguished as
to kinds or species, being sold under the common
name of ash. Much of it is sold under the name of
white ash to distinguish it from the black ash, or as
it is called in the northern territory, brown ash.
About two-thirds of the present supply of ash is
second growth, chiefly in small timber tracts and on
farm woodlots. Only about one-third is virgin tim-
ber and this is chiefly in large tracts and forms
less than five per cent of the entire timber stand
where it grows. Generally speaking the ash stand
of the lower Mississippi valley is botanically classi-
fied as green ash, but in the lumber industry it is
generally designated as white ash and in some locali-
ties it is designated as cane ash.
According to expert opinion, ash shrinks only mod-
erately in seasoning and bends well when seasoned.
The layers of annual growth are clearly marked by
several rows of large open ducts, occupying nearly
the entire width of the annual ring in slow growing
specimens. The color of the heart wood is brown,
while the sap wood is often nearly white. The pro-
portion of heart wood and sap wood varies chiefly
with the age of the tree. Old growth ash, over 150
years in age, has a narrow rim of sap usually less
than two inches and in black ash often less than
one inch.
AUGUST CAPITOL "G" ROLLS
