The double top consists of two thin layers of tonewood—commonly either cedar or spruce,—bonded together with a lightweight material balsacore. This construction creates a lightweight yet stiff top that vibrates more freely, allowing for increased sound projection.

2)Richer Tonality: The stiffness-to-weight ratio of the double top allows for a more efficient transfer of string vibration energy to the soundboard, which results in a richer and more balanced tonality. As a result, the guitar can produce sounds with more sustain and enhanced harmonics.

3)Volume and Dynamic Range:

Scafati double tops guitars offer a greater volume output compared to traditional single top instruments. This is due to the increased vibrational energy. Additionally, players often experience a broader dynamic range, providing soft pianissimo tones without losing clarity and powerful fortissimo without distortion.

4)Resonance and Sustain: The innovative structure of the double top allows it to resonate more freely. This contributes to a sustain that is longer and more even across all the strings and frets. Notes can sing more, maintaining their sonic presence before gradually fading away.

5)Responsiveness: Due to their lightweight but stiff nature, double top guitars can be very responsive to the player’s touch. They can articulate subtle nuances in playing techniques, making them highly expressive instruments.
