Sideways is mathematically the same as pulled up.

Guitar strings are more rigid than the first string in the first video I showed, so it's a slightly different. However, they look nothing like the video you posted. That's due to the rolling shutter.

The frame rate is a problem, but the rolling shutter is more of a problem.

I was at practice last week and we were talking about the Wood and Steel Magazine and V bracing and whatnot, and one of our group members (who owns a Taylor 214c) said that she doesn't really care about all the technical aspects of bracing and whatnot, she just wants the guitar to sound good (tone) - feel good (playability) and look good. And that is where most people are at, I guess. Yet there are folks, like me, who find this style of new bracing, and anything else acoustic guitar, very interesting, whether it is all totally comprehensible or not, there are people at the cutting edge of guitar design and responsible tone wood (forestry) management and I respect Taylor for this.

In the world of quantum psychics, the foundation is built on what is called "the double slit experiment" now without getting into all the collapse of the wave form mumbo jumbo if we take the same principle of this experiment and exchange light waves with sound and study the interference patterns as to how sound waves pass through two slits and then eventually interfere with each other, what starts to be demonstrated is either constructive of deconstructive wave patterns.
In the case of a guitar there are no "slits" that sound is passing through as much as it is a pool of air that all these different vibration patterns are interacting with each other as well as the plate material acting as independent drivers in multiple locations The science of this is quite clear, what I would debate is that V bracing or any bracing pattern would inherently eliminate or lessen deconstructive interference patterns that can lead to frequency interference that would present itself as a "better sounding guitar" However, if this is the case, it should be 1. able to be demonstrated with frequency analysis and 2. be repeatable So I think people are waiting to see spectral analysis as compared to x brace to see if there is a repeatable consistant difference. but what ever the case may be, Taylor has come through with one of the best acoustic guitar marketing campaigns ever as this has been a subject of discussion for months now, good or bad, as long as their talking about you.

Actually, the double slit experiment is not needed here. It's merely meant to show the duality of light. All you need is wave mechanics part of it classically speaking.

But in the slo-mo video the speed is so slow it is also hard to get a sense of... if the vibrations are really regular or not. And what is the double pick supposed to be demonstrating ? But to back up a bit I am not claiming Andy Powers statements are correct or that what is being posted here is not relevant. I am questioning if what is being posted, actually disproves his statements in any succinct manner . And I am by no means claiming to have extensive experience or formal higher education in Physics or Math, or the applied sciences involved in sound propagation However I do have about 15 years experience in the general sense of analyzing test methodology and possible variation anomalies .

So let me get this straight. You tapped with your finger and it produced a smooth graph (the software tends to smooth things also) and you say that it is the lower frequencies that are only important. Well, not my graph, since Photobucket I have not put up many of my pictures yet. Now as far as harming a top, I use an eraser with a pointy shape attached to a wood handle to excite my guitars. No damage at all and I get to see what the strings are working into. Yes I understand about Q, log scales, dampening, coupled resonators, tuned circuits actually many things in my past seem to come in handy with my new found hobby of guitar building. I used a lot of examples from fluid dynamics, performance engines, speaker tuning, and of course electronic theory to teach Instrumentation Technology. I started to give you a nod for your previous posts on this new thing Taylor is selling. But your sluffing off the higher resonances because you can not be bothered to use more than your finger to tap with, and besides we can't control it so it does not matter response changed my opinion. Just because resonances are not tall enough to make a guitar sound like a piece of glass does not mean they have no bearing on the sound, I am sure the anti-resonance troughs do not account for much either. Mind you, that is one of Taylor's main selling point, an even loudness of the higher notes with no dead spots. I will wait ans see how things pan out before I discount whether we can control (to a point) what happens in the upper registers.

But you claim to offer proof of this by setting up a recording of the body resonance produced by tapping on the bridge, (which is not the condition or criteria stated by AP) . The reason you give for recording the tap instead of the string pluck, does not stand up to objective analysis, and also has nothing to do with conditions in AP's statement . The reality is that ,,,,, at same time that you recorded the the bridge tap you could have recorded and graphed a string pluck at the 12 Fret E string and would have then actually and directly addressed the condition in the AP statement, you claim is not true .

As someone in the field, it's not debunked. The pilot wave maybe a different interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
