We'll certainly keep you updated as the build progress. Although, Sam is so busy it may be a while before its finished.

I can't speak for him in what he's trying to achieve sonically with the tap tone. I don't think hes looking for a specific frequency response, but instead a good range of audible frequencies, and a specific double decay in the sustain that he normally goes for.
I'll have to get him to explain his thoughts...possibly in a video!
Some others have made questions as to what is the desired effect of the curved braces. I would also wonder how the designer wishes to manipulate the transmission of sound vibrations through the top, given that braces affect top resonance both through their stiffness and through their direct sound transmission.
