The aim of the paper is to presents the experimental results related to physical and mechanical characteristics of resonance wood, one of the most qualitative wood material. Resonance wood, mainly spruce (Picea abies L) is used for musical instruments manufacturing and Romania is well known for resonance wood located in Gurghiu Mountains. Physical features of resonance spruce in terms of colour, ring width, ring regularity, latewood proportion and density were determined on samples provided by musical instruments factory from Reghin. The density profile of resonance spruce samples was determined using the X-Ray Density Profile Analyzer DPX300 and color of samples was obtained by means of chroma meter CR-400 Konica Minolta. Mechanical properties as elasticity modulus, viscous modulus, damping were obtained using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).
