Nice work Peter. Looking forward to the next one.

@peter-c-f  The sound waves on bowed and plucked instruments are different. I watched a science demo when I attended classes at violin school using transducer pick ups and an oscilloscope. For bowed it’s a sharp sustained attack, followed by a rapid…   Read more»

@peter-c-f  If you are interested, I found ‘The Art of Tap Tuning’ by Roger H. Siminoff a great source of information – not just theoretical, but more importantly practical tips. Thanks for the book recommendation, I’ve managed to borrow from…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 @peter-c-f I’ve just watched Mark’s “Black Art” video of the acoustic course where he talks about tap testing. He also goes on to say that making and carving the braces to the dimensions given, which have been arrived at…   Read more»

@peter-c-f  Braces are usually tuned by holding the plate very lightly till it rings. Some people can tell the pitch by ear but normal humans use a guitar tuner with a built in microphone Removing wood will raise the pitch…   Read more»

@peter-c-f  Question.  Do you tune the braces when carving, or are you focussing more on dimensions This is my first acoustic build, I wouldn’t have a clue how to tune a brace. I’m following the directions in Mark’s course as…   Read more»

I’ve got the last transverse brace glued across the break now and its looking okay. I’ll get the X braces on tomorrow, that’ll put some strength into it and I’ll can breath again.

@peter-c-f Thanks for that. I agree and upon closer inspection, even if the hole size has increased, the screw in part of the stud is still unaltered. Therefore if the posts holes are centred correctly the relative position of the…   Read more»

@peter-c-f In which case would I need to lubricate? nail guns and such? Anyway, yes only spray paint and maybe just air to clean out something, but I believe most of the ( cheaper ) compressors already come with a…   Read more»

@peter-c-f
Keep us posted Peter. I’m keen to have a go at this.

@peter-c-f There is nothing wrong with slow builds. Hopefully one can avoid some mistakes if there is time to think things through before doing the steps.
Good luck with the first build!

@peter-c-f. Welcome Peter. The course in Glasgow is a great start to guitar building. I hope you are successful getting a place. I completed the NQ course and came away with a couple of parlour guitars. Combining doing the course…   Read more»
