| I'm very impressed. That's an unbelievable sound from paper. The paper has to be in some matrix like epoxy or something to stiffen it up so that it can bear the load of the strings and have such a strong resonance. Is this correct?

| Hi...TruthHertz.. I don't have a problem with the joke...  Just i am a curious ...because before i make all this and the application for the patent ...i check very good all the possibility to make someone something like that before...and curious to see and listen it if exist ... I am sure some people ...from now and in the future to try to make something like my instruments or similar.... I begin now to make one piano ,contrabass and flute...for my band (ecoart band) with used and alternative material....like my guitars and violins...but with crazy looks... Regards Chris |

| Classical builder Torres built a guitar out of paper mache and spruce. If you want a good analysis of materials, the physics and aesthetics of guitars, and why one material would have an advantage (strength to weigh ratios, efficient radiation of energy to optimize projection of a wide range of intervals, etc.) write to Alan Carruth. He's an archtop builder that archtop builders go to. He's kind of an acoustics wizard with all sorts of instruments but especially guitars. People go to him when they've got a funky note in their guitar, a wolf tone, a dip in frequency here or there, and he isolates the problem and most times does a miraculous transformation. alcarruth@aol.com He's into alternative woods and materials too.

| Thanks David for the information about the Alan Carruth.... As about the Torres ...i know...but Torres made from paper only the back and the ribs... I make all the guitar from paper ( i have violin made all from paper and one all made from denim jeans cloth) ...also and the fingerboard. Maybe after i finish and the new one guitar i made this time ....and hear the sound ....contact with Alan.... I make one fat and one thin guitar sound board ....to see and hear the difference ....
