Thread: Bacing pattern alternives and their benefits

HI guy n girls, i have been looking into alternative bracing systems for acoustic instruments. I wonder if anyone here has experience with this.

Cole Clark has a new line with different bracing and a carved top done on CNC routing equipment. http://www.coleclarkguitars.com/product_angel.asp#



the Kasha stuff have many experimental angles and apparently lots of benefits.

and large sizes

and other Kasha stuff, http://www.hanalima.com or http://www.hanalima.com/gallery_inprogress.shtml for ukes



There seem to be quite a few other luthiers who have tried differing styles of bracing to help increase soundboard performance, resonsance and strenght.

has anyone here looked at this kind of thing or has first hand expereince with different techniques and their benefits ?

or even played any guitars with more experimental deisgns
