ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing and tuning a musical instrument having a sound board that is excited by either a string, as in a guitar, or a percussion instrument, such as a drum. The sound board is tuned by holding it in position such that it can vibrate, tapping it to determine the actual audible sound at the tapped location to a desired sound, and then either adding or reducing the material at the tapped location to achieve the desired sound.
