  Love the scientific approach to tune the top, the radius on the fretboard and the overall guitar appearance. But you really need a good classical player to do the demo. A good classical piece would show the real potencial of the guitar. The volume, the dynamic, the overtones, the sustain etc.

  Interesting take on the traditional Fan bracing (I'm all for improving or changing 'tradition'). Would be nice to hear it played by a classical guitarist who finger picks, not criticizing your playing but it just sounds a little 'thin'. But I see you were using a plectrum, so I can't tell if it's the bracing pattern or the pick that is making it lose some of that 'fullness' usually associated with Classicals. Plus it's a Spruce as opposed to Cedar so that would shift the frequencies upward a bit. What is your thinking behind not running the linings all the way around the rest of the soundboard from the bevels? Just interested, and thanks for posting your process.

• 
  @chriscrevelsguitars2 ай бұрын

  Hey! Thanks for your comment. Well, I actually look at it as a variation on the lattice design, but it does also resemble the fan brace, so it is indeed somewhat in between. As for my playing, you are right, I am no professional and I can't really keep my nails in order while woodworking. But there is also something else: any spruce guitar takes some time to open up, and those early recordings are really not a good representation. Then again, this is a prototype. Just a proof of concept with which I still have to do some further development. Thanks again for the comments!

I really love the ways people voice their soundboards but its also interesting to learn how the sound comes from so.many places. I've heard from my 12 string extending the headstock 6 inches and creating a 2 degree difference created longer lasting harmonics and significantly changed the resonance. Is there a golden ratio to scale length and string height over the the soundboard ?

• 
  @chriscrevelsguitars4 ай бұрын

  Hello! There are many differences in terms of design, but I would say the main difference (the most important one) is the thickness and stiffness of the top, the design of the braces and the shape and design of the bridge. The main concern is that steel strings on the acoustic have much higher tension, thus the guitar's top must be adjusted to that, being more stiff

  Hello, Thanks a lot for sharing your amazing work. I have a question; being an acoustics and vibration engineer and an aficionado of guitars (particularly flamenco) I wonder one thing. Have you ever made a study comparing objective resonance frequency measurements with how they subjectively sound when the guitar is played? We sometime want guitars with less sustain which are usually for accompaniment to a singer, or sometimes a balanced one if you also play solo. Sometimes, like some traditional flamenco guitars we want bright treables but without too much sustain still and so on. I am trying to understand, what sort of bracing/thickness etc and consequently the first 3 resonances of the guitar leads to which sort of certain sound. Have you ever made a conclusion as to "keeping the air reaonance, soundboard reasonance and back resonance at "..." frequencyies give a subjective result like high sustain/low/sustain/high treable sounding etc.? Thanks in advance.

• 
  @chriscrevelsguitars6 ай бұрын

  A lot to unpack here, but let's go. The short answer is "it's complicated": I do keep notes on the frequencies and sound of my guitars, or better yet, recordings, as the memory does not do a good job with sound quality. But those are only good so far: a guitar's sound changes over time, especially when it is very young. You are right, most of the sound of the guitar comes from the lower frequencies, but the higher harmonics make a good portion of 'timbre', if you like, because our hearing is much sensitive around that area (for distinguishing consonants in speech, for example). So quality of sound depend also in the relation on harmonics: fewer harmonics give a more 'focused 'sound, "root pure", while more harmonics sound brighter, "richer". Much of what we think of sustain is also related to harmonics. Overall, the exact frequency of the top in itself doesn't matter that much as long as it is in a specific range and not in the exact frequency of any scale notes. The efficiency of the frequencies, and relationships between them are more important.

• 
  @chriscrevelsguitars6 ай бұрын

  There are some general rules of thumb, though. As we are dealing with a limited amount of energy in a pluck, it needs to go somewhere and we can't have it all: so a guitar with stronger, faster attack will normally have shorter sustain (like a flamenco). This relates to the physics of the top: a heavier top will take longer to put in motion, and 'attack slowly', but once moving, will take longer to dissipate all its energy due to its greater inertia, i.e. 'sustain' vibration for longer.
