Reply to Deflection vs. Frequency for measuring flexural modulus
I’m not super smart and all of this is on the outer edge of my ability to understand things, but for me, Guiliano’s methods are the ones that are most approachable to me and additionally he’s been exceptionally helpful in talking to luthiers here and elsewhere.
