Wolf notes, midi

A bit of context to better understanding wolf tones. Building a guitar lighter, including reducing bracing on the top, but we have found elsewhere as well, makes a guitar more resonant. Blackbird's Modus Operandi is to maximize resonance (which would be our tagline if it didn't sound so nerdy). So we recently lightened the bracing on the Super OM to make it even louder and bring out the bass and mid-frequencies. I am very pleased with the result. This re-bracing and overall increase in resonance also brought out the natural resonant frequencies of the guitar itself. When I play the loudest one, A sharp, it resonants sympathetically with the primary resonant frequency of the guitar (also a sharp)- this is the wolf note. This 'artificially' enhances the resonance of that notes and makes it louder. This is nothing major and in fancy, lightly built boutique guitars, is considered to add character. I can however throw off tracking a hair.

Custom Rider Nylon Pearlescent white

Our client Bruce, performs in white so we wanted a white Blackbird. Maybe we should call it the whitebird. Our first pearlescent white guitar came out quite well but you have to see it in person to get the various layers that make for a deep visual experience
