[CAUT] Accujust and grunting fish bait

[Delwin D Fandrich]

I would like that first sentence a lot better if it read:
    "The energy from the string, which doesn't have enough 
[surface area] to move very much air, is transferred to the 
soundboard which does." 

The soundboard is not increasing the volume of sound--it is 
creating the sound. So, I'd like the second sentence better if it read:
    "So the ... volume of sound is [high] because the soundboard, 
whose total energy output is less than what the string 
started with, is ... efficient at moving ... air even [though] 
energy [has been lost in the process]."

| The energy from the string which doesn't have enough mass to
| move very much air is transferred to the soundboard which

| soundboard, whose total energy output is less than what the
| string started with, is more efficient at moving more air
| even with less energy.  It's not really amplified in the same
| what that, say, an electric guitar is amplified.  But the
| soundboard does make the vibrating string louder, just not
| amplified.  Terminology issue.  The vocal cord thing and
| creating an area in the throat that produces some resonance
| is something slightly different again.
