tailblock thoughts, talk me out of this
So, tailblocks. Traditionally something between a 1/2 and an inch wide. Traditionally widely (fully) attached to the soundboard. Why? Picturing the soundboard and it's movement in my mind, it seems like having the entire width of the block attached to the top makes for strange shapes and low modulus of elasticity in that area. What if I chamfered the tailblock on top so it attached by the same width as the kerfing? It SOUNDS like a better plan in my mind, but maybe I am missing something...Would it negatively effect the structural integrity? I'm not picturing it. Talk me out of chamfering the top of my tailblock to match the width of the kerfing.
