Building a Classical Guitar #8 'Avenir" - Part I: The Soundboard. Christian Crevels Handmade Guitars

No music, no talk, just the craft and its sounds.
Handmade construction of a Classical Guitar by Christian Crevels, guitar maker.
In this video, the soundboard's building features the rosette's manufacturing and the bracing pattern that goes into the inside of the instrument.
This guitar is #8 and is called 'Avenir', meaning 'future' in french. It is crafted using only quality solid wood for the best sound performance. The soundboard is quartersawn European Spruce (Picea abies), as so is the bracing. The rosette combines veneers of different species of wood in a unique pattern that is the signature of my guitars.

18:15 Mas olha só. É brasileiro? Eu não tinha percebido ainda. Que grata surpresa. Parabéns. Vídeos espetaculares de trabalhos excelentes

[@chriscrevelsguitars]

Isso! Brasileiro nascido e crescido. Mas os últimos anos estou aqui na Suíça. Grato pelas palavras!

Sensacional 👏🏾👏🏾

Pardon me for asking here, but I could not understand the function of the two boards underneath the top plates that appear in about 3:38. They are brown, & long, & exist under the glue joint while you are gluing. You already are suing painters blue tape to minimize the glue squeeze-out, & the joined plates are now a bit bowed in the glue-jig

[@chriscrevelsguitars]

No problem in asking at all. So, the board is not for squeeze-our, as you figured. It is there mostly to provide a flat bed for the two plates to meet consistently all along their glue line instead of only in the three places with the sticks. You are right there is some bowing going on when tying the rope but that all but disappears when the wedges are in place. Anyway, it is not entirely necessary

Amazing work!

[@chriscrevelsguitars]

Glad that you like it!

[@baccoguitar]

the small plane you used to even out the bottom of the rosette is very nice.... how is it made? where did you get that?

[@chriscrevelsguitars]

Yeah, I love the little one. It is a Veritas mini router plane. I got it from Dieter Schmid Fine Tools.

[@user-pj7gk6dc6b]

To what tickness you hand planed after installing the rosette?

[@chriscrevelsguitars]

The thickness the computer tells me to! Haha. I do resonance analysis and measure density of each top to calculate target thickness. So it varies. In this case if I remember correctly I was aiming for 2,4mm. But I always let some extra material on that I take off only when final sanding the guitar, so it protects a little against dings and scratches during build

What software is used to capture the sound of wood tones?

[@chriscrevelsguitars]

I use Reaper. But really any analysing EQ will do the work.

trabajo de amor por una guitarra dicen que el perro es el mejor amigo del hombre pero pienso que la guitarra es la mejor amiga del hombre,,,,,,,,,,pienselo

[@jorgedias8349]

Qual o programa que tem para ver o som

[@chriscrevelsguitars]

Qualquer um de análise de frequência. Eu uso direto no software de edição Reaper, mas também tem muitos outros. Se você quer no celular tem o Spectroid, que é um aplicativo pra Android.
