Hi John, thanks for checking out the thread.
My soundboard bracing pattern is designed to distribute the stiffness very evenly across the entire top, transferring the string energy into the movement of air as efficiently as possible. I want the soundboard to move as a single unit much like a speaker cone. The bass response created by the large movements of air in the centre of the top and the trebles from small movements near the edge.
