The survival of this unique wood is under threat, placing it at the centre of international conservation policy – with significant consequences for the music world. In this interview, Eva-Maria Tomasi, violinist and member of the orchestra board of the Berliner Philharmoniker, discusses the musical, historical and political importance of a material without which an orchestra would be nearly inconceivable.
