Here is how I received the instrument.
Not even a proper case.
An instrument like this deserves a case.
Well there it is.
The top is really deformed.
The tension of the strings makes the front of the bridge sink and the rear where the strings are tied to rise. So it's common deformation. More so if the instrument is not in good hands.
Then it's helped by poor bracing.
Industries often use discarded material from tops, not having the proper thickness or not being the adequate wood.

In this case it's both. Alerce is a very good tonewood but it is quite soft for bracing and reinforcement. So I will replace the bars with tougher ones. Probably will use some Red Cedar
