Hi, I've been asked to build a parlour for a friend (using the Georgia Luthier Supply drawings) but would like to use a falcate pattern of top bracing. Sketching this out I'm not sure the longer narrow body is ideally suitable for the curved bracing - Any advice welcome.

I did a 14 fret to the body 00 and it turned out. It has an arm bevel that I think makes the sound board more like a 0 size. The owner loves it. Here are some pictures viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6444

Francis...I'm currently building a falcate braced parlour. Here's a pic of the braced up soundboard.
