Stroh guitar anyone? halp? - Cigar Box Nation2024-03-29T12:17:28Zhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/stroh-guitar-anyone-halp?feed=yes&xn_auth=noWithout paying any attention…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2017-12-12:2592684:Comment:30048532017-12-12T00:28:15.016ZBr Harold F Stubbs IIIhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/HaroldFStubbsIII
<p>Without paying any attention to the 'Stroh' stuff, so far it has a rumbly resonant sound and likely one shouldn't play loud slap bass on it if their stomach is very sensitive to vibration.. That's what I get so far with quickly-mocked up bridge and nut ( had to rework the tailpiece so the durn thing matched up OK with the strings over the fret board rather than pulled off to a side.. measure twice, cut once, repeat as needed... )</p>
<p>Am hoping the tone just gets better somehow from there…</p>

<p>You may have a point JL. The pipes are 1/2" ID 5/8" OD, I hadn't considered the flex part of the equation ( I wanted to say Flux Capacitor just then ).</p>

<p>I suppose the original patent depended more/less on a 'drum' type surface, really need to drive that air to make that portion of the build work..<br/><br/>thinking if the other end of the pipe ends in a horn facing up towards but not touching the front of the body it should give a good reverby sound.. going the other way should be a little louder maybe though, less energy kept within the instrument each ... cycle.. ?<br/><br/>is just a weird idea. . I did get strings on the beast but not frets or really a proper bridge or nut, just enough to start working on getting everything lined up right since apparently I can't drill straight without planning first :-p</p> Sorry..

<p>Am I the only one who expected a Stroh's themed guitar? Anyway, I'd suggest to build it and find out. The sound on mine surprise me half the time even with a more traditional build, I have not seen anyone making something totally new with solid predictions of how it will sound. </p>

<p>Neat idea, couple the bridge to a diaphragm for a victrola-type horn, like a string between 2 soup cans for the phone in the old tree-house. First thought is an end-cap for 1/2 or 3/4 in copper might not have enough flex to act as a diaphragm, might need something bigger...</p>

<p>Maybe you could find a large bowl to use for the back, cut vent holes along the edge of the cookie tin so that the sound goes around to the front like a horn.</p>
