ERVIN SOMOGYI 02 | GUITAR MAKER Top & Back

More Somogyi please!!!

Incredible.... the word MASTER comes to my mind....

when are we going to see part 3?

One year later and I'm still on the edge of my seat waiting for part three!

This explains a lot thank you very much

aaaaaaargh where is part 3????????????????

Ditto felixoquebec... please put up part 3! Parts 1&2 seriously great stuff by an inspiring builder willing to share his vast accumulated knowledge

WHERE IS PART 3 ?!?!?!?

Mr. Somogyi, thanks for an EXCELLENT video! I'm an aspiring luthier from Cape Cod, MA. I've always been intrigued by the science of acoustics in relation to instrument making. One thing that came to mind as I was watching this, was that the guitar body you're using as an example seems to have a fundamental note. I was wondering if you try to get a fundamental note (such as A, E, or D) when building a body? I've seen drum-makers use this technique to great effect. Best Regards from Cape Cod

7:34 I think the word was meant to be "stiffness"? the same thickness of wood may create variations in stiffness from piece to piece.

i think he's a genius, but i must admit i'm not a great fan of his guitars, just as a matter of taste... but it's also true that i've never played one for longer than 15 mins so i may not really understand the true greatness of them either.

Have you uploaded #3 yet?

Den bedste forklaring på samarbejdet mellem front og bagstykke… Og en dejlig rolig forklaring, så selv en Dansker uden de store Engelskkundskaber kan forstå hvilken vidunderlig verden du åbner for os.. 

meh. all of this isn't worth shit outside of a vacuum.

Love you Ervin.  You are one of a kind.

Isn't the movement of the back a moot point when it's against your body while playing?

This guy really seems like someone to pay attention to for anyone planning on building guitars.

I think the world is ready for part three, please.

Good grief.

Can you upload part three please?

Looks like gourmet guitars is balking on the request to release the 3rd part, perhaps legal reasons?

Lool I'm a somogyi

NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM HIS SKILLS AS A BUILDER OF GUITARS ,BUT THIS REMINDS OF WHEN MILES DAVIS TOLD WYNTON MARSALIS STOP TALKING JAZZ AND JUST PLAY IT.

HOW can this ever be boring...sooo many people, builders incl, don't seem to get this...The resonance & tone yeah...but NO one else seems to appreciate how sound box amplitude & amplifiers work in the context of guitars & strumbed/picked instruments...they keep pouring eurathane all over everything, even epoxy, oh lord!!.

Strings have 2/two...ends...The kneck also transfers energy into the sound box more than most can comprehend...you can feeeel it fgs!

literally playing ping pong, lol

#3 ! 
Please!!

11 years later I am looking for Part Three!

Thank you, Sir, for these amazing insights

I wonder how deep that box is.
