La Cremonese, a nylon strung arch top, by Sankey Guitars. the whole top can vibrate unimpeded—great design

@northernbassist bet it would sound neat with a bow =D
@MrGoat @northernbassist
Interesting you would say that, since the maker was apparently inspired by the design of a viola de gamba.
@MrGoat @northernbassist
I wish there was more info about it on his website because I'm very curious about the internal construction.
Me too. I imagine a single x-brace, with a bridge plate for support, but none of the normal fan braces the go cross grain, and restrict vibration.
@MrGoat, if you’re interested, I have a guitar accessory called the Pickaso, designed as a bow for acoustic guitars. First impressions were novel, but meh…if you wanna try it, I’ll send it to you. N/C.
@northernbassist @voltronic I owns a bass guitar so it would probably not get used. =D I appreciate the offer!
@MrGoat @northernbassist
You could always get an E-Bow. They're cool for Spacey effects if nothing else.
@MrGoat @northernbassist
Or if you like the bowed acoustic sound, learn to play the hurdy-gurdy! 😅
@voltronic
I never knew just how complex those instruments are.
