Can a vibration machine make a new guitar sound like an old guitar?

So what would happen to a brand-new guitar if you did the equivalent of playing it for 24 hours a day for weeks or even several months? Could you accelerate the aging process in just the right ways and get a broken-in guitar right out of the box, so to speak? I have known several guitar makers who have put new instruments next to stereo speakers, playing music into the soundboxes for a week or two before shipping the guitars to customers. Now there is an industrial-strength version of this technique being used by Timbre Technologies, a company founded by luthier Michael Tobias and SWR amplifier builder Steve Rabe.

 

Timbre Tech's patented process involves clamping the guitar to a shaker table, a kind of super-heavy-duty loudspeaker with a 7,500-watt amplifier and a three-inch magnesium plate instead of a speaker cone, and vibrating the whole thing at much higher forces than ordinary playing would produce. The process takes about 45 minutes and is carefully monitored by acceleration sensors attached to several points on the guitar. The strength of the vibration is intense, much greater than that produced by playing the guitar, and so the theory goes that 45 minutes on the table is equivalent to several years of normal playing.

 

Timbre Tech has also treated solid-body electric instruments, again with interesting results. Aerosmith and Eddie Van Halen have recently had instruments shaken, and Jerry Donahue reports spectacular results on two of his Fender Custom Shop Telecasters. With solid-bodies, it seems that the most dramatic results are with bass-wood–bodied instruments, and run-of-the-mill new production guitars get more improvement than instruments already judged to be excellent. The changes in solid-body instruments would seem to indicate that it is not just simple flexural patterns that open up with vibrational aging of guitars. Internal sonic wave patterns in woods also change with shaking, whether done naturally over time or accelerated on the shaker table.

ai putea face acelasi lucru cu chitara in masina pe drumurile "under construction" din bucuresti

este genial articolul, ne ramane sa speram ca industria se va dezvolta atata de rapid incat sa prindem si noi in viata procese din astea in liniile de productie...faptul ca vibratia face chitara sa sune mai bine nu mai este de mult timp un mister, se stie ca o chitara din anii 50 cantata in primii 10-20 de ani de viata e mult mai valoroasa decat una in mint condition (adica veche si intacta)...vibratia aseaza particulele din lemn in ordine, astfel incat rezonanta se mareste substantial...multa bafta

Si de unde stii tu ca se aseaza particulele din lemn?

Cand canti nu dai cu ea de pereti ca sa asezi particulele

Eu zic sa citesti tu ce a zis mu5ai si sa te uiti la ce am scris eu
