These two things got me thinking: If the string vibrations are "steered" in a more horizontal direction...that would mean that the vibrations travel horizontally as well..(parellel to the ground) along the soundboard....and that would be bad because any cracks in the soundboard in the future will have a slightly greater effect than if the vibrations travelled vertically across the soundboard? Or do the vibrations carry themselves vertically either way? I got confused with this one.Do correct me.....
