Здравствуйте Garrett, надеюсь у вас всё хорошо. Жду выхода следующего видео.
I'm personally very interested in the nodes and anti nodes. Where the occur and varied thickness and placing of the braces in accordance with them. A friend built a contra bass marimba in my workshop. The shaping of the bars, corresponded with the nodes and anti nodes. Obviously the carving and shaping affected the fundamental note. But it also greatly affected the resonance of the bar.
Just found your channel, it's great. Thank you for sharing.
Жду, надеюсь и верю
Excellent. Thank you
Excellent videos. Thank you for sharing
Сегодня тоже нет нового видео, жаль
Очень жду новое видео!
С нетерпением жду следующее видео
Жду, жду….
Здравствуйте, когда следующее видео? Жду с нетерпением!
Do you have the measurement for steel string tops?
When I was building small jumbo steel string guitars (about 10 years ago), my target deflection was 0.110 inch in the with-grain direction and 0.180 in the cross-grain. This is for the same weights described in the above video, and with the plate similarly supported 1 cm from the edges and at the widest point of the upper bout. (Of course, the plate is a different size compared to a classical). As an example, for a Euro spruce top with density of 0.42 g/cu. cm, the final plate thickness in the upper bout and in the center of the lower bout would be 2.55 mm. In the lower bout, the thickness would taper to 2.30 mm at the edges. The bracing was a typical X braced pattern. This creates a very balanced, rich and articulate sounding guitar.
Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Amazing. Great info
How does a guitar sound if it has no bracing ?
Thank you, Garrett, these are very helpful explanations. One question about the weights: did I understand it right that the dumbbell weight has 1000g? (and not two american pounds?)
The dumbbell weight is 2 American pounds = 907 g.
Thank you again - this is SO helfpfull!
Thats realy interesting, thank you verry much for showing and explaining this so well!! I'm always thinking about building a probe guitar with a easy removeable deck, but dont know how to do and will it be helpfull?
Do you mean removeable neck? If so, you can use any number of bolt-on designs, such as those used in steel string guitars. I find it helpful for fretting and finishing separately from the body.
@@GarrettLeeLuthier sorry - no, I meant a removable soundboard. For a beginner it's to hard to finish the complete guitar an then realize the sound is not good
@@66Gollum The idea is that through correlations to good sounding guitars, you will be able to use surrogate measurements to tell you before you finish the guitar if your top assembly has potential to sound good. Deflection, tapping and impulse analysis are some of these surrogates. If you feel that you need to model something that is structurally closer to a finished guitar, try using the approach taught by Brian Burns Guitars using partial side/top/back assemblies that can be manipulated.
@@garylee6266 yes, that's wy i like your method so much - a real good starting point. Thank you again so much!
Yeh that is pretty impressive actually
С нетерпением жду вашего возвращения! Жду новых выпусков видео. Очень хочу приехать на встречу 14 сентября, но живу очень далеко! Спасибо вам за ценные советы. Спасибо за то, что делитесь своим опытом! Люблю вас как брата.
How do you get the veneers? Veneer saw?
Hi Garrett, thanks for the excellent video. I wanted to ask - you mentioned your target deflections for steel strings in the episode 13 comments. Are you able to also provide the post-bracing deflection targets for steel strings like you have in the table for this video?
What’s the density for honeycomb?
The raw balsa is approximately 8 lb/cubic ft = 0.13 g/cm3. Once the holes are cut, it becomes about 0.05 g/cm3. For comparison, when I use Nomex, I use the variety that is 1.8 lb/ft3 = 0.029 g/cm3. The gluing surface areas are different, and Nomex will carry less glue than balsa with holes.
Do you ever find your advanced understanding of systems to get in the way of your playing, or are you fully capable of subduing a given aspect of thought while engaging in an applicable task? Excellent playing, sir. I came across your illuminating series this afternoon and am excited to learn more in the coming days.. Additionally, if you haven't already covered the following topic, a suggestion: workshop protocol and organization Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion.
Great and informative videos Looking forward for Ep. 18 Air, top, back resonance
What a fantastic video! Very informative and inspiring! Thank you@
I stumbled across your channel and appreciate that you take time to share your valuable knowledge about guitar. This is for me a gem, being interested in both guitar playing and making.
As a begginer luthier in France, I would like to thank you very much for those clean and methodic advices. At last a practical approch, untainted by belief or myth about luthery. Your serie is absolutely great.
Absolutely beautiful!
That was an incredible learning experience. Thank you!
As usual, majestic contents! Thank you so much Garrett
beautifully played, Gary! I was really intrigued by the first video as I don't think I've ever heard you play on a cedar guitar before. All of the guitars have such a notable color palette for this music though, I really enjoyed all of the performances. Congrats and hope to see you soon.
Much appreciated, Matt. My preference as a player is spruce, although a part of me really likes cedar too. Fortunately, my double tops always use cedar for the inner layer, which when blended with spruce on the outside, gives some cedar character in sound and response. The cedar/cedar guitar in the first piece is Celil's guitar, which is a guitar I could really be at home with even though it has no spruce.
and how do you get holes in it? Does it come in a sheet? Shall I google guitar shape balsa/w holes?
The holes are machined by CNC using a pattern of my design. The balsa is purchased from a specialty balsa company that is often used by model airplane builders.
Nicely done Gary. The recorded sound of your guitar is lovely!
Hello. good show. Hmm,,,,I would like very much to see what pattern the bouncy particles would form with the strings on up to pitch, then with a violin bow make the SB undulate like crazy. and it does!. Have you or anyone else tried this.?? This method is how we find the "anti node for bridge location" on the guitars we make. But we don't use particles!! instead a K&K pick up glued on a pencil or a small stick, touching areas on the SB and passed through an amp. = Amazing acoustic revelations!! it's easy. Old Ernst might raise an eyebrow, he didn't have the electro wizardly things we have now.
Beautifully played.
very nice, lovely work
Bravo Gary! I love the way you play my music, so heartfelt. And that you also made these guitars, wow! They sound absolutely beautiful, so well balanced with a lovely sound. What a talent you are!
thank you!
Beautiful pieces, beautifully played on beautiful sounding instruments! Well done!
👏👏👏
Very nice Gary 🫶🏽 Congrats!! What a useful tool to possess to play like that 🫡
Can introduce your guitar n. What music instruments for recording
The end of the video has descriptions.
