[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3705034, member: 45328"] 8 notes and all the minors, sharps, flats, augmented, 7th, etc. are just variations of the basic 8 major notes. Just making something that is, simple look complicated? This contraption pictured here looks like it would kill the sound with all that stress on the top, preventing it from moving! In an acustic instrument the top, and back, vibrate from the sound made by the strings, this acts like a bellows to amplify, and enrich, the sound quality! Different tone woods produce different sounds, In quality guitars most tops are made of spruce, the two top types of spruce for guitar tops are East Indian, and Adirondack Spruce. the backs, and sides, are usually made of rose wood, or mahogany, quality tone wood is harvisted from mountainous areas, and from the NORTH SLOPE! Trees grown on the north side has tighter, straghter grain because it gets less sun light, and this makes it grow slower, and produces a tighter, striagher grain, ( tree rings)! Mahogany produces a more mellow sound, while rose wood produces a louder booming sound! The same verity of tone wood grown in different geographic areas produces vastly different tones, and sounds. Brazilian Rose Wood, is an endangered species, and can't legally be harvested, and used in instruments now, only Brazilian Rose Wood that was harvested before this law was in force can legially be used in instruments, which makes old Brazilian Rose wood guitars extremely valuable! This is a complicated subject, and fascinating!
