ABSTRACT:
In order to adjust the tone of a machine made stringed instrument, so the notes of the machine made stringed instrument are balanced, the sounding box of an initial test instrument is constructed. Then the surface of the sounding box is tested to determine regions of excessive resonance. Next, to control excessive resonance, resonating regions of the sounding box are covered with one or more layers of a wood based sheet material until the overall tone of the test instrument is satisfactory. Then machine made duplicates of the sounding box of the instrument are made. The location of the wood based sheet material having been determined, the new instruments are provided with the same material at the same locations, so the resulting instruments all have the same tone.
