Hey, I didnt want to get into the specifics of it as I wanted to keep it simple to understand the basic physics first, so I described an idealized system. If you want to get more specific, it depends on the type of saddle or nut the guitar (or any other stringed instrument for that matter). A...

Awesome insights! didnt think of it. how short and fat is enough though? finding the resonance frequencies of the pillar is pretty easy and I understand the physics of it, but not the other parameters. Lets say theortically the first fundamental of the pillar is far higher than the 20th...

I know, but now I just want to understand the saddles part of it.

Actually I'm contemplating regular Electric guitars, there's a lot of misunderstading surronding that topic and lots of myths so I wanted to investiage. Your suggestion of tungsten/tungsten carbide seems to be accurate, I just want deeper understanding.

Thanks for the reply, Im looking for a more in depth answer in case one of the parameter changes.

I'm new to this subject so bear with me and I have a salad in my head. I have some fundamental question regarding wave reflection/transmission. Lets say I have a flexible steel cable connected to an end support (pillar) and waves are induced in that cable. My goal is to get the maximum amount of...

Hey y'all, my first thread here, Got a burning question that has been disturbing my serenity. In all derivations of the stress tensor that I've seen they didn't explain it that much, So my question is, why do the traction vectors on each surface are independent? From what I understood, the...
