Blasts are needed to blow minds. Chapeau! For your impressive deep knowledge. Question about building the guitar. And I reference the violin here - I don't want a guitar to sound like a violin, understand me correctly. I start with my view on making these, and guess you know way more than I do, it's just to set the stage in communication. In a violin, part of the sonic character is in the curved top and part of the harmonics stem from the bridge (and even the lobes in the f-holes hopefully collaborate harmoniously). With a stud, the top is connected to the bottom, AFAIK. There will be braces too. As wood ages, it may become weaker/softer and its tonal character will change, hence the instrument. My hypothesis is that the curved top and bottom help in becoming a resonant contraption. I would compare this to a loudspeaker cone with the rubber ring around it. The violin maker uses tiny planers that look like cute toys to work on getting regions of different thickness. There's bracing too, and the connecting rod. And everything needs to get the proper place relative to desired tonal character and resonant qualities of the wood that probably can vary 4 inches away from what it sounds "here". Is there an analogy in guitar making? What about arched top guitars? Do these "architectural" differences between guitar and violin cause a difference in ageing? An idea for the script of a new video?

I assume that cutting down the trees is done at the waning moon min december so as to get the least amount of sap in the tree. Just like the old violin makers like stradivarius did so long ago.

Thanks! Loads of interesting points, Marshall! It helped explain how a single luthier is able to look at the whole range of the choices and processes aimed toward a unified single guitar in a way that even the best factories cannot. In my limited experience, such an instrument teaches you how it wants to be played. This is in line with the builder’s aims.

I'd love to get into woodworking and try my hands at building an instrument, but it's such an expensive thing to try to get into as a hobby. This takes full commitment over decades. The difference between a prefab guitar mass produced in a factory and a luthier-built one is night and day, so tip your luthier. I mean you do tip them, and the tip is roughly a used Ford Fiesta, but still the labor and precision involved is insane.

@YouTubeHandlesAreMoronic5 ай бұрын
There's a just a MINOR step omitted at 6:32, right after "Step One." The endgrain of the billets is sealed (that dark stuff), and the wood is allowed to dry out/season for 10-30 years, minimum. Historically, it was not unusual for a luthier to designate his stockpiled wood to a specific heir in his will.

I always wanted to be a luthier, mostly because of an old 1958 00-18 Martin my dad gave me that I could find no equal to, it mystified me. Keep injuring myself badly though every time I get set on a career, slowly taking away options. Im 30, pretty much becoming an observer. Protect your hands and arms.

This is what caused Brazilian, ebony and countless other species of timber to become a restricted use lumber

Would that be a good buy for learning, or should I buy a much better classical guitar? I currently have a Yamaha CG122MSH.
