TurboTail vs. Traditional – Travel Guitar Sound Comparison

Описание: Seattle guitarist Mark Wand compares 3 travel guitars: Little Martin vs Baby Taylor vs Cordoba Requinto (a nylon string classical guitar, set up with steel strings & the TurboTail). He is playing fingerstyle..

The TurboTail is a simple, elegant device that diverts the tension of the guitar strings from the soundboard to the structural tail block of the guitar. All of the vibrations of the picked or strummed guitar strings are still transferred directly to the soundboard to produce sound, but the tension load is diverted to the tail block, leaving the delicate soundboard free to vibrate optimally.

The result is that the guitar soundboard can do what it was intended to: Amplify and temper the vibrations of the guitar strings without having to provide a structural anchor for the strings.

Guitar soundboards without the TurboTail act as structural members, like a floor, a wall, or a steel beam. This means that the soundboard’s most important job is to avoid collapsing due to the intense stress exerted by the taught guitar strings.

Guitar strings are like steel cables. The total tension of six steel guitar strings ranges between 140 and 190 pounds, depending upon the string gauge (12-string guitar tension can exceed 250 pounds.) That’s enough tension to lift a full-grown man off the ground. Imagine what your guitar could sound like if the soundboard didn’t have to do all this heavy lifting.
