No music, no talk, just the craft and its sounds.
This Soundboard is for my guitar #09, 'Nova', which I have decided to make as a prototype "Modern Classical", i.e. a classical nylon-strung guitar with 'modern' features: a slightly curved fingerboard, an arm-bevel, a cutaway, and with our newly designed Lamella Bracing. Spruce Soundboard over Khaya Mahogany back and sides.
The Lamella Bracing was designed by my brother Eric Crevels and me, inspired by Lamella Structures in Architecture. Visually, it may look like a version of Lattice Bracing, but it has some fundamental differences that make it really one of a kind. This design has a great weight-to-stiffness ratio, and I am very curious about how it is going to sound.
I have made Chladni Patterns using sine waves to drive the resonant modes of the braced soundboard. This way I can visually examine the stiffness distribution over the whole Soundboard, and then act accordingly. The relative position of the resonant modes also gives me insight into how the guitar will eventually sound.
