I think I follow you. You are studying winding patterns and their effect on induction vs capacitance. I think most people would like layman terms so to speak. More details on your findings would be nice. Like what patterns worked the best. But I guess that would be giving your secrets away. But I take it as good salesmanship. You're going through the process of being the best pickup maker. I suppose the other question would be. What would be good value ratios to look for in a good pickup. For us regular people who are testing pickups with a lcr meter?
Drives me crazy when people put such emphasis on resistance, not realizing that it is mostly a proxy for the number of winds which matters most. If resistance was what mattered most, you could just put a huge resistor is the magnetic field and that would be that. But, of course, that would fail. Ultimately, it's a trade-off between tighter winds of finer wire increasing the number of winds, which increases inductance (but also capacitance)...while the increasing resistance increases voltage drop. That's like highly resonant guitars that have higher inductance...but are also microphonic even if the pickups are "wax-potted".
I have a strange question, maybe? See I have been on a quest of my own but it's not for music although could be. I would like a picture up that can pickup.every resonant. So say I bring it to a rock and it can pick up is atomic or quantum resonance. I know we filter out undesirable variables but what if those variables are useful elsewhere
The first purpose is to cataloge data. From element/object to objects. Isolating relation feedback. Then measuring the data differences and then maybe rendering those resanaces in a vacuumed chamber with just water and simple base matials of decided base resonant subject.
Kinda wonder what kind of crystalline materials could be produced through experimentation with different things under created environmental conditions.. What if we could make metal
Would that be creating something by controlling the atomic or quantum resonant environment. How pure could the elements be that are created? Compared to using basic electrolysis like processes
I dont know much about the scientific part of winding, but ive wound over 1000 pickups or more. Ive used every kind of magnet size, shapes. Ive found for single coils that short coils give a punchier sound, tall coils seens to be more smooth, my pickups literally all sound the same, because i use the same pattern everytime. But every once in awhile i get a real special sounding pickup. Theres some magic in there i swear, use same magnets and wire, cant replicate tho. Its very odd.
I've wound a 47kOhm pickup that isn't stuck in the mud. It uses an unusual bobbin to shape the magnetic field so it has massive headroom so attack is preserved despite a nearly-1kHz peak. Works great for highly distorted forms of music and, strangely, Jazz.
The metal should be a good electrical conductor and non-magnetic. Copper does a pretty good job without any reason to use exotics. Transformers are a different animal when it comes to winding them. Either really expensive equipment or hand wound is the way to go.
@@U2BER2012 Lots of questions. Sounds like you are building up to a gotcha. Anyway, close enough to be in the range they occupy - they are not exactly consistent.
@@m.a.nelson9427 Sorry about all the questions. I rewind as a hobby, though I use to do repair/ rewind work for a local guitar shop. But, lately I rewound this one strat pick up with a theory in mind, so I wound it accordingly and I was so blown away by the resulting sound. I've let friends try it out and they too are amazed. I agree, it's not easy cloning a good pickup and I don't have the equipment that you have; only my ears. Thanks for responding!
