| 摘要 |
The invention relates to apparatuses, and methods for their use, for reversing or preventing warpage in the top plates of guitars and similar musical instruments attributable to the tensile forces within the strings of such instruments. The apparatus employs a compression block attached within the interior of an instrument's sound box, upon the interior side of the top plate and opposite the bridge, a compression rod between the compression block and the tail block of the instrument, and means within the interior of the sound box for adjusting the movement of the compression rod. When installed, the apparatus of the invention may be manipulated to induce a compressive force upon the interior side of the instrument's top plate, thus arresting or reversing the undesirable warpage in the top plate caused by the tension in the instrument's strings.
