Back to top tuning?
I see prints of top and back thicknesses and see people shooting for these target numbers, generally, they just work but my new question concerns the relationship of the top and back.
Do you more experienced builders take the time to try and fine-tune the top to the back in some way other than approaching plate stiffness and mode reactions and your gut instinct? In some way tweak how they couple to improve the tone just that little bit more? In my mind, it seems like something someone with experience would also work on, maybe that little bit extra that gives some instruments that little bit of magic beyond the normal fine instrument? If you do just what are you looking for or how do you approach it? String it up in the white and play a bit then tweak the archings and bracing?
