Hi Sage. Greatly enjoyed your video and drawing upon your 45 yrs experience and am intrigued to experiment. my 29 solid top birds eye maple archtop has very simple parallel braced tonebars and has incredible volume and energy transfer to the top even with an ebony adjustable wheeled bridge ( i did rebuild the feet on it from a piece of 1815 ebony i had when i restored the git) I will venture first to simply removing the wheels and allowing the pin on bridge to sandwich the two pieces of bridge together to see if any change noted in projection, but i had thought that the simple ladder tonebar carved archtops already allowed tons of energy transfer? same as i was very surprised that a birds eye maple top would sound as good as it does..go figure i guess an anomaly or simply the 93 yrs of opening up and developing? I did look at ken parker designed solid bridges when i did the restoration but wasnt sure if it could produce any more volume than it already was. i know this git isnt a 25 lloyd loar or anything special but i havent had another acoustic archtop with this much volume (only have had 50-60s archtops before this one...german and american made) but ill let you know if i notice a difference. thanks agian for your insight, appreciated
