This is not much about voicing, but for a basic knowledge of acoustic there is: https://www.speech.kth.se/music/acviguit4/
Howard Wright thesis is also a good primer to understand all the vibrating modes. Especially the firsts chapters. http://www.hakwright.co.uk/thesis.html

I'm using duck-duck-go for the search engine.

That might be the problem. Just type you search in the MIMF search box! Not in your browser search

Works for me 100% Win10 + Firefox

Update: I have made several additions/improvments to LSA. It now come with an installer , which may make things easier for some. The "sound shape" graph is now saved with the spectrum. The cursor now show the frequency in the status bar, the decay/duration can be measured with a left click, Etc. You...

I made one such software also and if you own a PC with a microphone you can download a working copy from here:

This will help you decide if you should try to go up or down with your frequency change.

Here is my 2 cents: Seems to me that the B4 is also one of the frequency of the instrument or the Helmholtz and therefore cancelling the note. You need to shift this frequency of the instrument a little bit. Try blocking the sound hole. Does is also cancell? If not may be changing the sound hole siz...

Hi Chuck, the software will acquire the microphone signal from you PC or Laptop. If the mic is onboard or USB or connected to the soundcard . As long as you have a valid sound input device in windows it will list it. After that it does an FFT to find the frequencies and displays it as a graph and va...

As Barry said.
This is designed to measure the response to a tap rather than generating a signal.

I have been building guitars as a hobby for the last 17 years. A few years back, I started to use Audacity and later Visual Analyser (VA) to find resonnant frequencies of plates and instruments. The many steps one have to go through to get a usable spectrum lead me to make my own software. Over the ...

Thank you David. It look like I will have to recut the fretboard after all.
Jescar is asking way too much for shipment to my place.

I have a Yamaha FG 230 on the bench for some repair. Where coud I find the narrow tang fretwire that was originally used in the 70s. Dimensions are: Width of crown: 2 mm / .079" Height: about 1 mm Tang width: 0.4 mm / 0.017" Depth of tang: 2 mm / 0.080 " I would prefer to not recut the fingerboard i...

Welcome to the forum Calvin.
You will find good guidances here, lot of experienced people.
But warning: guitar building is addictive. Once you start it is difficult to stop!

Just brainstorming:
If you have a compressor that you can place away where the noise will not be a problem, you could make some kind of "injector' that would push the confetti in the blower air stream

Can you not make also a ventury? Or the air speed is not high enough.

Wow, beautifull!

Thank you Peter, this is exactly what I need.
This will get me going!

I decided to try building a Lap Steel Guitar an I need some guidance. I never played or seen one except in photos, so I really need some experienced opinion. I have read several forums and it seems that a string spacing of 3/8 is about right. Is this 3/8 between strings or center to center? If cente...

From the nut face to the body you will need 11 3/32 inches. Add the width of the nut, the length of your Headstock and the length needed for the spanish heel. I think 18 inches will be OK if you are carefull.

I don't think a shaft 12 mm or 1/2in is strong enough. Use 3/4 in or 19-20 mm. If your shaft flex during sanding, you will not get equal thickness on your board.

Thank you MIMF and StewMac!

I am in!
Thanks
