Ok Betty,
F Holes vs Sound holes and screens vs rings, huh? Ok listers, let's start a
dissertation of the sq. root of pi, vs. the dimensions of the F Holes as compared
to the dimensions of Sound holes, (with and without screens, and the resulting
"backpressure" per sq. inch, effect on the cone.) I'll point out this
option is not available to F holers..... and then we can even branch out into a
sub topic of would a "tinted" finish....(I've heard Haze is purple?) so would the
extra layer of coloring affect the tone....or maybe I should say the "color" of
the tone.......might even effect the vibration of the individual wood fibers that
compose the grain of the instrument? Oh and don't forget the phase of the
moon.....
Let the games begin!!! O;-)
I still didn't see one single Sho-Bro in any of the pictures I've seen from R-S
yet? But (hopefully).....wait till NEXT YEAR!!!!! Ohhh u'll be in soooo much
trouble.....lol.
Back to practicing White Christmas, after looking at my driveway,
Hey, before I go......I've just seen a news clip on the high waters in
Washington State. Tom Foote sent me a photo of the grocery store down the hill,
(fortunately) from his house. You can just barely see the tops of cars in the
intersection!!!
So Tom, is it true you are practicing "The Theme From Jaws?" Inquiring (high n
dry) minds wanna know?? And for heaven's sakes, be careful with your hair dryer
if you're standing in a puddle.....
signed,
Cap'n Queeg
