| description | Instrument makers prefer wood species which not only have excellent acoustical properties, but also tend to keep their natural state when going through preparations and pretreatments. In this study long time water soaking, a common protocol among Iranian lute makers, was used to investigate the natural durability and dimensional stability of White mulberry (Morus alba L.). The wood of white mulberry, which is the only source for making Iranian lutes for more than a century, was examined for its natural resistance towards fungi and termites. Samples were also studied for their dimensional change during four months of water soaking. White mulberry, whether leached or unleached, showed to be a very resistant species towards both termites and fungi. Gradual removal of the extractives during water immersion resulted in an increase in partial shrinkage. It was concluded that water leaching, though not affecting the natural durability, tends to reduce the dimensional stability of white mulberry. |

Los fabricantes de instrumentos musicales (lauderos) prefieren madera de especies que no solo tengan excelentes propiedades acústicas, sino que además tiendan a mantener su estado natural durante su fabricación y pretratamientos. En este estudio se hicieron pruebas de inmersión en agua, un protocolo común entre los lauderos iraníes, para determinar la durabilidad natural y estabilidad dimensional de la madera de mora blanca (Morus alba L.). La madera de esta especie, la cual es la única que ha utilizado para la fabricación de los laúdes iraníes por más de un siglo, fue probada para determinar su resistencia natural al ataque de hongos y termitas. Los especímenes fueron estudiados para detectar cambios en sus dimensiones durante cuatro meses de inmersión en agua. La madera en estudio, lixiviada o no, mostró muy alta resistencia tanto al ataque de hongos como al de termitas. La remoción gradual de extractivos durante la inmersión resultó en un incremento en la contracción parcial. Se concluyó que, aun cuando la lixiviación en agua no afecta la durabilidad natural, tiende a reducir la estabilidad dimensional de la madera de mora blanca.
