quote:
But maybe he thinks he's using the Spanish word "pulsación." According to the Diccionario of the Real Academia Española it means "Acción de pulsar."
For "pulsar" the Academia gives "Tocar, palpar, percibir algo con la mano o con la yema de los dedos". "To touch, sense by touching, or perceive something with the hand, or the tips of the fingers," which is precisely what Spanish people mean when talking about guitars.
Notice it never says anything about the "stiffness of a guitar soundboard or its bracing concept". [8|] "playing action as per the touch sensitivity of the FINGERS". That means STRINGS AND FINGERS. Now, WHICH FINGERS????[:D] It was once the "touch sensitivity of the RIGHT HAND RASGUADO ETC" and the magical leprechaun transference of that feeling via the SOUNDBOARD and build design getting into the STRINGS somehow. Where as "touch sensitivity of the LEFT HAND" is a crystal clear thing:HEIGHT OF STRINGS OVER THE FINGERBOARD. And Amalia Ramirez and Ricardo say there is no magic Leprechaun, the RIGHT HAND is feeling the response of the HEIGHT OF THE STRINGS OVER THE FINGERBOARD, as well. The confusion arose historically from noticing two DIFFERENT guitars that measure the same at the 12th fret feel different, yet don't account for the neck angle achieving that measurement.
but I digress.
