In a profile of Antonio de Torres Jurado and modern luthier craft, the article explains how a guitar’s sound arises from a web of coupled oscillators from string to top plate to air. It quotes physicists and luthiers on wood choice, soundboard importance, and the stubborn variability of wood, noting Torress influence, polycarbonate experiments, and ongoing debates about production methods and ideal tones.
