Is it true that the instruments weight influences the sound?
No. Usually this is said in respect to heavier woods being commonly more resonant and more rigid than lighter woods, offering more sustain and more sound to the instrument built with them. However, this is not a rule. With an adequate choice of woods and construction techniques, it’s possible to build very light instruments, with a lot of sustain and clear sound. The aimed objective in terms of sound and punch has to be taken in consideration during the project period.
