RE: The soundport thread (in reply to estebanana)

I have limited experience with ports, but is somewhat in line with what Ricardo is saying. I added a small port on my Raphael Romero negra. It was set fairly high on the upper bout. I got the unwanted extra bass boom as well. Like Ricardo said, it was only bassy when you played the basses. Other than that, I liked it. I played a Peter Tsiorba negra that had a medium sized port set close to the neck. I liked it and it didn’t have the extra bass issue. Hard to make any conclusions from this, but I believe the port needs to be closer to the neck. The small port may have something to do with the bass issue as well. Hello, I now have the Raphael Romero because Pat is graciously allowing me purchase to it from him. Thank You Pat! It’s a beautiful guitar with the sound port plugged or unplugged. Overall, I like the sound port. The port is roughly 1 ¼” wide. And as Pat said, it’s set maybe a little high on the bout, but not too high in my opinion because I've seen higher ones. I agree about the extra boom when playing the basses. However, the trebles sound great too. The port doesn’t over-power the main sound hole; it seems pretty balanced and stereo in that regard. I’m not sure if making the port ‘bigger’ would help with the bass boom or not. And if so, how much bigger? I did partially cover the sound port a little at a time and it ‘seems’ to help with the boom. Anders, Do you notice a difference in sound with your sound ports that are partially covered or open all the way? Because I could always ask lsnyman to see if he could make a nice cover that would partially close off the port: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=169246&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=shut&tmode=&smode=&s=#175529 Or at least make a nice looking cover/plug.
