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»

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»

He also goes on to say that making and carving the braces to the dimensions given, which have been arrived at…   Read more»

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»

I’m following the directions in Mark’s course as…   Read more»

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»

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»

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»
