The objective of all these processes has been to recreate the vintage tone in newer instruments; however, in going along this path, I discovered something I believe to be more remarkable.

I can't...

Heh, that o-port is ridiculous!

My process is the only one that carries a money back guarantee.

As far as the other guys...I prefer to let the results speak for the matter.

I think more surprising is according to this article they have been around for the past 10 years.

Yes it's still wood, the electron microscope images show that pretty clearly. It makes wood sound better than I've ever heard it (and yes, I've been to boutique shops and played from almost every...

Having treated some wood samples and tested breakage of them, I couldn't detect any difference at all.

With the instruments I've treated I haven't seen any evidence like unusual bow, warpage or...

True, I'm just impatient. The majority of business I have at this point is from repeat customers and word of mouth. The last guy that dropped of a guitar found out about it by really liking the way...

Send it over. I'm offering to do a few free treatments to prove the actuality of this.

I've tried it on many different types of steel string acoustics and a few nylon string guitars, all with great success. I've also tried it on a few solidbody electric guitars (though the effect...

It doesn't come off an artificial enhancement in any way, it's very natural sounding because it is unlocking the dormant "it" factor in wood and making it sound spectacular.

I personally am after...

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see an enhanced resale value of instruments that have gone through the process. I think it is a bit of a stretch for me to guarantee that though. I do have a money...

Having performed it on a multitude of guitars I have no question the results will be every bit as spectacular on a mandolin or any other wooden stringed instrument.

It increases the responsiveness of the instrument significantly as well. Same with overtones, projection, etc... It gives more of everything in accordance with the materials used to create the...

To respond to that I would assert that the process would upgrade the mandolin to a degree significantly greater than would spending thousands more on an upgraded mandolin.

Foldedpath, I plan to have some high quality 3rd party before and after demonstrations done and also plan to have a formal study done at a local University or music shop (once my money situation...

I'm up for it. PM sent.

As some added background here is information with regards to inter-fiber pits in old violins

Fig. 2 shows what I am talking about with regards...

I can get a piece of wood and do this but it's going to take close to a month.

There's a lot more to observe than a sustain measurement here but if you want to focus in on that and disregard...

A few of my clients that have used the little vibrator to open up their tops have reported this producing results on the level of 5-10 times greater.

It takes many hundreds of hours of continuous...

I'm comfortable with it.

Also, I would be willing to treat a mandolin in return for a before and after audio (or video) demonstration to display for everyone here, for whoever's interested.

Based on everything I've seen this is what I really believe is happening, the process is increasing the q-factor of all the woods that comprise the instrument and the mechanism for it is the opening...

You have not witnessed both the before and after effects of my process in person. This is vital before any real evaluation can be made. Rather than conjecture I am offering to demonstrate this in...

That is exactly what this has achieved. The voice is not altered but enhanced with no sacrifice whatsoever. Everyone that has heard the difference has commented on how incredibly good it sounds.

What I don’t see is any willingness on your part to look at what I have. Instead you’re dismissing it, hiding behind preconceived notions and attacking my lack of experience with formal study.

I’m...

No, I don't think its violating conservation of energy; I think there's an aspect being unaccounted for. The volume increase is very evident but with regards to sustain I think there are typically...

Obviously, if it's happening it's not violating the laws of physics, there's something not accounted for in the equations or understanding of it is my guess. I am open to having a University study...
