    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.

    Do you have the measurement for steel string tops?

    • @GarrettLeeLuthier
      @GarrettLeeLuthier 11 днів тому

      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.

    • @GarrettLeeLuthier
      @GarrettLeeLuthier 13 днів тому

      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

    • @garylee6266
      @garylee6266 13 днів тому

      @@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.

    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?

      @GarrettLeeLuthier Місяць тому

      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.

    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.

    • @GarrettLeeLuthier
      @GarrettLeeLuthier 23 дні тому

      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.

      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.

    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.
