Whether you use tone bars, a ladder, or an X, be sure the braces are radiused and sprung in to dome the top up a bit. If it's dead flat, the string pressure will make the top sink and it will sound like a banjo. Putting a little upward tension will pay off greatly. . ph º º º º º º º º º º º º º º º Paul Hostetter, luthier Santa Cruz, California
