Modal Tuning example on a falcate braced 0012 Steel string.

I built the guitar hoping to hit 95Hz, 180Hz, 226Hz. When the guitar was strung up I ended up with 97Hz, 186Hz and 250Hz. The top was a little low to reach my original goal. If I tuned the back down to 226Hz I would be well below 180Hz so I tuned the back to 240 Hz and I ended up 95Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz.

Here is a comparison video I made with the same recording setup. Sorry about my playing
