yes indeed every part contributes to the whole its the process that is smoke and mirrors. for example take the two greatest violins apart and what will your sound waves do to particles bouncing at the surface tell you? well it will say they are not identical and that's about all. again smoke and mirrors.
@datzfast Every part of the instrument effects its sound. If you think the back of a violin makes no difference as to its sound, then you clearly don't understand what a sound post is and how it works.
There's a massive amount of scientific evidence proving that fractional adjustments to nearly any part of a violin will effect its tonal quality. I'm surprised you can be so confident as to dismiss a large body of acoustic research dating back to the late-1700s as "smoke and mirrors."
@Chad48309 I try to buy old AE magazines, and found a neat DIY project using a Z axis Lisajou form on an O scope. This was designed to find the resonance(s) primary and others of a speaker cabinet. It adjusted well to arch top anything from guitars and manod__to viol_, cello contrabass, etc tops and backs. How do you read the media on a top as it is vibrated with a freq gen and amp? The parts where the stuff settles are not vibrating> so I do what next? Methods are as many as makers.

its utter nonsense. this really has no application in music because no one just plays the back of an instrument. this is smoke and mirrors.
