I usually use rosewood and mine end up weighing in the 19-24 gram range. From what I have seen and read that is on the low range. |

In general, does increasing the mass cause a pronounced change in the ability of the top to move with sound vibration? (Don't know if I asked that in an understandable way). Can you explain the relationship between mass (referring to both weight and size) of the bridge and movement of the soundboard? |

I've got ocean front property in Arizona, and if you'll buy that I'll throw the golden gate bridge in for free.
