A violin, as representative of any of the members of the viol and violin families, has a soundbox with an improved back plate construction. The back plate is substantially flat and has affixed to it braces for resonance balancing with the top plate. The braces include an elongate, primary brace disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the back plate, and first and second sets of secondary braces which are longitudinally spaced from each other. Each set of secondary braces comprises a pair of short, brace segments which are laterally disposed on the other side of the primary brace and in oppositely registering positions with respect thereto. |
