Hey Delwin,
Nice to read about your work and ideas.
even my point is clearer. Just found my dictionary so it's time to
explain...

Kristinn, here is my Uhhh..
Thank my diction...

A vibrating wire gives a clear sound when it's hold strongly between the
tuning- and the hitch pins. Pressed down at V-bar's, by Capo's, wrenged
between the bridgepins.
These two pins are solid fixed in wood and iron construction.
The wire is in contact with the soundboard so the vibration is taken over by
the soundboard.
When the soundboard is glued around it's perimeter we have a copy of the
vibration of the string, here comes my points,
the vibration took place between two solid fixed points.
Exept the freefloating boards! They can move a little at one side so, in my
opinion, the Tone is not straight. The strobo of my tuner gives a 8 leds
wide screen instead of 5 normally.
There is some noise around it and I think that noise is made by the unknown
length of the vibration of the soundboard!
When the soundboard is fixed you can measure the length of the vibration.
But not at freefloating ones.
Can you follow my thoughts.. Delwin?


Regards

Rudyard
