The Boucher bar

Post by Dave M » Fri Aug 13, 2021 8:14 am

There has been a lot of discussion about the effect of a substantial transverse brace sitting under the saddle position on the sound of a classical guitar on some other forums - not wishing to mention Delcamp! But I wonder what the effect on the modal performance of the top is...?

I would imagine the cross dipole and tripole might be inhibited somewhat and that the long dipole enhanced. But these are simply guesses on my part.

I wonder if anyone who builds in this way has done any analysis of the top resonances?
