a simple experiment, to prove that a combined, two-bout, figure "8"-style sound chamber is better - more resonate ... different (at any rate) - than one is to drop a ping-pong ball into the sound chamber of your instrument. i realize that for those with fixed roses this is an impossibility but it's easy enough for those with an open sound hole.
the ping-pong ball forms a mini-sound chamber within a larger sound chamber. it's why people wearing cowboy boots and improbable stetsons drop rattlesnake rattles into their instruments. bet you'awl wish you had a friendly little charango 'bout now so as to perform this-here ex-pear-i-ment. plucky - bill http://earlymusiccharango.blogspot.com/ ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
