rhoads56 Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Derek, how would you tap tune the top?? Thats done prior to bracing.... I do not understand this at all. How do you tap tune an acoustic soundboard without bracing on it? Every time I read about tap tuning or have a conversation about it there is always reference to tuning the soundboard after the braces are glued on while you are carving and shaping them. It is this that allows you to tune the top at all. Hmm, well ive seen/heard/read it done both ways, many times. Tune the top without braces, to how the builder wants it, then add braces, and shape them to do final tuning. Im not expert on this subject, so im only going by what ive seen/heard/read.

Myka Guitars Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 The way I understand it is that you adjust the stiffness of the top by sanding to the desired thickness. Some people test it with a tap or by flexing (or both). Is this what you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
