..Five Zones of the Neck... How it all must work!
..I hate to be the bringer of difficult news.... BUT here it goes:
..Unless I am very wrong, the optimal acoustical violin will have these specific tuned frequency relationships. These are all TAP Tones measured as described elsewhere in this website (www.violinresearch.com).
..Yes it IS difficult to achieve this, but it is at least possible; and unless we have an actual goal (and a good guide) in mind, it will be almost impossible to arrive here by good intensions.
..Carefully following established professional patterns of successful violins will get you close, but because to the differences in each piece of wood, we need a technique to adjust our woods to the desired acoustical goals!
