“Tap tuning” is the art of adjusting the resonant frequency of each wooden component to an ideal harmonious pitch.
Well-known for his studies of instrument acoustics, Siminoff guides the builder through the process of adjusting the soundboard, back and air chamber for a rich, sonorous voice. The goal: building acoustic stringed instruments with consistently good tonal response. A 50-minute DVD is included to demonstrate the procedure and help you identify the tapped tones.
The principles in this photo-illustrated book can be applied to most stringed instruments: mandolins, violins, guitars, ukuleles, pianos and more.
