Best Answer

In classic violin building, the sides, back and sometimes neck of the violin are always made of maple. The top, and the soundpost under the bridge, are spruce. The fingerboard, tailpiece and tuning pegs are ebony, the linings inside the violin are cedar, and the bridge itself is also maple.
