Acoustics for Spruce Tonewood: Dr David Olson

Dr David Olson talks to luthiers about sound—how luthiers hear it, and measure its tonal attributes and quality. Dr Olson also describes in detail how guitar makers can utilize the science of sound, with sonically graded wood from Pacific Rim Tonewoods, to build the guitar they want, each and every time.

At Pacific Rim Tonewoods, it’s our mandate to provide predictable and consistent materials for instrument making, so that the luthier can take advantage of the diversity nature gives us in wood, instead of being limited by it.
