![]() ![]() I hadn't understood the difference between volume and sustain with F-holes vs Guitar Hole. Now I mildly regret it because I can't easily switch to standup bass for jazz sound.) (Bass Guitar, I cheated, tuned it to cello strings. I'm a multi-genre violist who is now playing bass in a local college jazz band. Thank you for that lesson about the archtop. Note however that this is a quite generic discussion and there are lots and lots of variations of the same instruments around, so in a specific case the situation may be somewhat different. This produces a louder tone, but the string looses energy which is stored in it's vibration more rapidly.įor instruments such as the cello or violin this is less of an issue because the note is usually not just picked once but kept in a constant vibration using the bow. This is quite easy to understand, since the f-holes allow more of the instrument's top to vibrate. The hight volume was mainly important when amplification was not common. the time the string sounds after it is picked). ![]() the jazz community, they have a higher volume compared to the round sound-hole counterparts, at cost of less sustain (i.e. Guitars are built with both variations (see ). However, there is an important difference between the round sound hole and the f-hole. There are many variations which however do not affect the sound of the instrument too much. The exact shape of the f-holes does not matter too much.
