Prostheta Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Wooooow. You have a BBC B/Acorn in the room!! A truly beautiful instrument. Quirky, but clean and very functional in design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acousticraft Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey nice work ME. Does the volume suffer with the strings not over the sound hole? I guess you could make it oval Macifferi style if that was a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinedwards Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Nope, not even slightly. This is a VERY common mis conception, and one I held until recently. it's not the strings vibrating over the soundhole that makes the sound. it's the strings driving the bridge, which makes the top vibrate which pushes the air in & out. Bear in mind Tacoma & McPherson have soundholes way up on the top edge....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
