If so, that is pretty much a "soundpost" just like in a violin, and that has been tried many times but is generally seen as a tone killer because it will couple the top to the back and deaden and hamper the top.
And be careful about the "name" thing, just because you have heard of someone before (or not) is no measure of the BS meter. I have met some of the big names and found the BS factor to be high, and the opposite to be true for others I know and I can vouch for Barry.
