Peter K-G Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Isn't the amplitude of the A0 important too? Yes Marty, It is very important, but very complicated, because you have to get B1-/+ (frequency & dB level), f-hole size and body air volume right at the same time. This requires skills from a lot of practising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter K-G Posted September 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 And I think you're still looking under the streetlight for keys that are far away in the dark. If you can refute or explain away easily discovered problems, then carry on... -Good violins do not have a specific set of signature modes or plate taptones -Bad violins can have perfectly wonderful body modes and taptones -Signature modes do absolutely nothing for the upper A string or anything on the E string... and isn't that where a Strad is supposed to stand out? Can you be really, really sure that I haven't solved the puzzle? A and E string will not stand out they will be magical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Noon Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Isn't the amplitude of the A0 important too? Some. It is important not to have too much. My VSA fiddle has about the strongest A0 of what I've built, and the critiques were that it is a bit too dark and boomy. It's all a balance, I think, with the higher frequencies being much more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
