| Find the balance point of the top, and measure from the TOP edge DOWN to that point. Go to the back, and measure UP from the BOTTOM edge, insert pin. That is the balance point of the top is below the center of length, and the pin is equally above the center of the length. I can't say that this is really important for tone in any way, but it IS a correlation, which is an interesting thing, in itself, and might be connected to something. |

| I would agree, in that it is likely connected to something. I have been thinking a lot about the relationship between the top and back plates, the interaction of the two and the way in which the outline (vibrational modes?), arching (flexural properties?) and graduation (distribution of weight?) apply. It certainly is a curious subject. Thanks for taking the time to clarify. |
