Yeah... sound along those lines.. thinish, too much midrange.... nasal like.. The G2 kinda fits that. Any other reasons why this occurs ? How does scaling tension fit in ? Panel stiffness... rib scale... downbearing... bridge dimensions etc. I'm wondering what you can do short of major rebuilding work like replacing a soundboard or the like to improve such instruments... Cheers RicB Stingy in sound like the Yamaha G2? The board could be too thick.
