    My Morris A5 is Sitka over Big Leaf Maple and it has a great voice for Bluegrass, IMO.
    The general consensus is that Carpathian or Engelmann is "darker or warmer' and often not considered bright enough for a bluegrassy "snap". I think Sitka would be a good choice, however, I'd ask Max about this.
    Another possibility would be the classic combination of Red or Adirondack Spruce and red Maple.
    Keep us posted!
