Product Information

Voicing is a sensitive hand-shaving process to perfectly tune the braces to the soundboard. The process involves listening to the sound of the wood on tapping and then gently shaving the brace with a sharp chisel to improve its tuning. This is done to maximize the responsiveness of the top while maintaining its structural integrity. Other Bracing Patterns Two X shapes are placed in an overlapping arrangement to form a diamond surrounding the bridge plate. This bracing pattern provides additional strength like in twelve-string guitars but restricts vibration of the top. A Bracing

Smaller braces and bars that fall under the lateral/other category contribute to the enhancement of tonal elements as the guitar’s engineers see fit. These most frequently include tone bars and treble braces. Tone bars are much longer and located at the rear of the guitar, differing heavily depending on the bracing type. In the case of fan-braced guitars, these bars are quite plentiful and prominent, often extending to the rear of the instrument in a sunbeam (or fan) formation. This not only aids in bringing out the lower tonal resonance of the instrument, but also unearths and strengthens the sonic impact of the guitar’s top tonewood. Treble bars, on the other hand, are shorter and protrude from outside of the main bracing to the edge of the guitar, strengthening the points where the top meets the sides and enhancing higher frequencies. Originally developed by Martin in the mid-19 th century, the X-bracing design has since become an easy go-to solution for many guitar manufacturers. But why have so many companies followed suit? Well, its pattern forms a fine structural support across a large portion of the guitar, intersecting just below the soundhole. The remaining triangular spaces allow enough room for customized tone and treble bar configurations, enabling sound-craft that excavates as much or as little desired tone needed for each model. An overwhelming majority of acoustic body styles sport this design, and it can be found in the lineups of manufacturers like Martin, Gibson, Fender, D’Angelico, and Seagull. For guitars that possess a greater intensity across the instrument, such as 12-string models, a “double-X” pattern is often employed to reduce the likelihood of top damage from bellying, or over-flexing. Our Original 3-1/4" long bars are available in either the "BIG DADDY"™ - 1", Pedal Steel-7/8" or Hawaiian/Lap Steel-3/4".The distance and speed of left to right movement of the bar are the two main physical principles behind the vibrato. These have countless combinations, which is why no two steel voices are the same. Cord and Spring. The tone bars each have a pair of holes drilled through them in which a cord runs, linking them all together. Sitting on the frame of the marimba, each tone bar rests in its spot, and the cord connecting them all terminates in a spring hooking the two ends of the cord together. This provides tension to the cord, which in turn helps hold the tone bars in place. DIGITAL VIDEO LEVELS (PDF). Leader Instruments Corporation. Archived from the original (PDF) on 2022-02-22. However, the strength of the bracing is reduced, leading to arching or bellying of the tops of the bridge upwards. The effect became more pronounced with the advent of the steel-string guitars. Martin discontinued shaving the braces and moved the crossing point of the two braces away from the soundhole and nearer to the bridge. A lot of your playing and technique will influence your sound – your hands and ears will ultimately determine your tone most of the time.

The contribution of ladder bracing to the strength or acoustic performance of the instrument was minimal. Transverse bracing was in use till 1960 when Japanese X-braced instruments wiped them out. Fan Bracing Each resonator tube corresponds to one tone bar so that each bar of the marimba has its own “amplifier.” The “Buddy Bar” is constructed of the space-age material (Nylatron) that Buddy selected. It has the same weight and dimensions as Buddy chose. I reveal its brass interior through its rounded nose. a b "Color Bars – Reference Levels – VideoQ Tech Blog". Blog.videoq.com. 28 October 2018 .
