Planetary/straight style tuners for steel string
Hi There, I would like to have straight string pull on my current steel sting build but not have an asymmetrical headstock. So I am thinking of something like planetary tuners going straight through the headstock. The only option I know of is Steinberger Gearless Tuners. Does anyone else have any ot...

Re: Falbo Intension Bridge
Hi Frank,
Thanks for making yourself available for questions and I look forward to your response to the above discussion.
Do you have any frequency response curves of your design that you can share? Also do you have any deflection measurement of the monopole mobility?
Cheers

Re: Buckled side
Be careful not to over do it like I didIf it's under 1/2 a mm and you have 2mm sides you can safely level it since the material removed will mostly be over the top of the linings.

Falbo Intension Bridge
falbo-g.jpg I heard Frank Falbo speaking on a podcast about his intension bridge design, which I thought sounded interesting. So I looked a youtube clip where he speaks about it and draws a simple diagram about it. He states his bridge design reduces rotation torque on the bridge to produce a loude...

Re: Falcate pattern without CF?
I know the Brisbane AGMS rout about 0.5mm on the bottom of the braces to take the CF but not the top.Francis wrote: Quick question do you channel the bottom of the braces to take the CF so the CF and the brace material contact the top? Does the CF completely cover the bottom of the brace negating a channel?

Re: Chlandi Patterns on Back
Hi Martin, No I was tapping the top with the mic in front of the top. I was doing the chlandi testing to help me identify the peaks in the frc.

Re: Modal Tuning Course in Brisbane was a great success
Yes it was a pretty great weekend. Thanks again to Trevor and Andrew. As an aspiring builder (still on my first) it was great to move my focus out of the the woodwork project mindset and focus on the acoustic project side of things. So much information at times, but also many ideas too about what to...
