A Resonance Test

Heading back inside from the patio as dusk settled, I crossed the living room rug toward the acoustic guitar resting upright on its low wooden stand. That hollow wooden body was built to project energy! Climbing onto the thick base of the stand, I reached out and gave the lowest brass-wound string a deliberate pluck with my thumb. A deep, rich vibration thrummed instantly through the spruce soundboard and right under my boots. I rested my palms flat against the warm, lacquered wood, feeling the acoustic ripple slowly taper off into total quiet. Sound is pure physical momentum!
