about fill out PDF contact-ship terms	Acoustic blueprinting is a tonal adjustment process that moves beyond traditional methods, such as moving the sound post on bowed strings, altering bridges, and checking for proper fit and adhesion. It isn’t brace shaving and involves removal of tiny amounts of wood. The physical approach systematically approaches the overall resonance of the neck/fingerboard (for violin family), the response of individual pieces of the body (e.g., ribs, braces, and plates), the bridge (very important), and the sound hole edges. The process integrates procedures and techniques from many workers, some well known, some not so well known. The effects include reducing noise, evening up response and balance, increasing response speed, sweetening tone, and increasing sustain. Overall increases in tone quality and carrying power are frequently reported. The work concentrates on the interior of the instrument and on the bridge using scrapers and other tools. The actual amount of wood removed is usually minor, although some guitars may benefit from more extensive reworking. The key is to get all the parts of the instrument working together, rather than to make the instrument work differently than it already wants to. The process takes several iterations. Turnaround times are generally less than two weeks. The name? We started marketing this process for mandolins, but began with violins. Guitars came last. Ask about other instruments. We've done ukuleles, citterns, and a range of other strings.
