HI folks

This one keeps coming back, as if one is looking for some way of justifying 
the thought from the get go.  A soundboard is not going to influence the 
balance between the fundemental and partials across the board unless it acts 
as a broad band filter or something of the kin.  Looking at resonant 
frequency partials ladders for various different soundboards, there is 
nothing to indicate that any particular type of board construction will do 
this per se.  That said... if you build any type of board purposefully do 
act as a filter.... you can. Zimmerman comes to mind... :)

The idea tho is to create an assembly that doesnt get in the way of the 
strings own partials picture any more then is absolutely neccessary.

Read Wogram.

Cheers

else) imagine that the balance between the fundamental and partials
might be affected by CC versus RC&S?  Might the RC&S tend to produce a
stronger fundamental with weaker overtones?
