Removable Tornavoz Experiment No. 01

Описание: I've really grown to love the gut trebles, no nails, tornavoz sound. I wanted to devise a way to experiment with the sound on my own guitar. There are better ways - but this one is cheap and easy. It was quite interesting to see the body resonance of the guitar drop from G# to F# when the tornavoz was installed. I was also able to feel how the guitar vibrated differently with it installed.

Hearing the difference on a recording, however, is quite another thing. I think the difference is most obvious on the open 6th string...and as you go higher...it becomes less obvious. Anyways, let me know what you think.

Guitar: SP/BR Telesforo Julve (smaller body, very light and lightly braced) - built between 1932-1944
Strings: Aquila Gut and Silk 800 - playing with fingertip technique (no nails)
Pitch: A=415Hz
Tests: Open strings and Two Tárrega Preludes

Quick access links for comparisons:
0:00 Intro music (played with tornavoz installed)
0:17 A/B open string comparison
1:15 Tárrega Preludio Sobre Los Gruppetos (without tornavoz)
1:48 Tárrega Preludio En La Menor (without tornavoz)
2:41 Tárrega Preludio Sobre Los Gruppetos (with tornavoz)
3:14 Tárrega Preludio En La Menor (with tornavoz)

I'm already working on experiment no. 2 which will be a deeper tornavoz with a wood collar.
