Doug:
Jeremy Hamm was displaying one last year at the Folk Festival. It might be worth a phone call but not this weekend.

When you say "classic guitar" do you mean a classical nylon string guitar? If you do, then you might be interested in following the Selmer original. The nylon string guitar was the first of the Macaferri/Selmer guitars. |

i didn´t notice the part about classical guitar, just "with the bridge movable and the strings pressing the top"... my bad. anyway, the maccaferri design for the classical guitar, if i got it correctly, is a rather standard (if you forget about the inside resonator, which most of the folks do), conventional tie-block bridge, 7-fan braced classical guitar, but with a cutaway and a funky looking D-hole. OK, the fans have a focal point around the soundhole (a "tighter" design) and start at a 2nd harmonic bar, but that´s it. there´s a plan for the nylon maccaferri at the Charle shop in the links above. In case your interested in the later, floating bridge/oval hole selmer design i can check in the Collins book for measurements, if it helps. |

The classical Selmer is a much wider instrument to accommodate the internal resonator, and the resonator was the entire reason for the D shaped sound hole as there was the "reflector". The bridge was longer and thinner, and had a split saddle to manage the intonation of the thicker and thinner strings. Bob, I saw Jeremy last year and I'll be seeing him again this weekend. Dave Freeman will be there, too. I've already built a Selmer a few years ago. I've got the Charles plans for the oval hole and I have the book. |

oh yeah, split saddle. Thanks for reminding me Doug. |
