  • Sound post

    In a string instrument, the sound post or soundpost is a small dowel inside the instrument under the treble end of the bridge, spanning the space between the top and back plates and held in place by friction. It serves as a structural support for an archtop instrument, transfers sound from the top plate to the back plate and alters the tone of the instrument by changing the vibrational modes of the plates.

    The sound post is sometimes referred to as the âme, a French word meaning "soul". The bow has also been referred to as the soul of these instruments. The Italians use the same term, anima, for this.

    Sound posts are used:

  • In all members of the violin family;
  • In some members of the viol family;
  • In some archtop guitars;
  • In other string instruments.
  • Sound post adjustment

    The position of the sound post inside a violin is critical, and moving it by very small amounts (as little as 0.5mm or 0.25mm, or less) can make a big difference in the sound quality and loudness of an instrument. Specialized tools for standing up or moving a sound post are commercially available. Often the pointed end of an S-shaped setter is sharpened with a file and left rough, to grip the post a bit better.

    American English

    American English, or United States (U.S.) English, is the set of dialects of the English language native to the United States. English is the most widely spoken language in the United States and is the common language used by the federal government, considered the de facto language of the country because of its widespread use. English has been given official status by 30 of the 50 state governments. As an example, while both Spanish and English have equivalent status in the local courts of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, under federal law, English is the official language for any matters being referred to the United States District Court for the territory.

    The use of English in the United States is a result of British colonization. The first wave of English-speaking settlers arrived in North America during the 17th century, followed by further migrations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Since then, American English has been influenced by the languages of West Africa, the Native American population, German, Dutch, Irish, Spanish, and other languages of successive waves of immigrants to the United States.

    Ame
    Seja como for
    Sem medo de sofrer
    Pintou desilusão
    Não tenha medo não
    O tempo poderá lhe dizer
    Que tudo
    Traz alguma dor
    E o bem de revelar
    Que tal felicidade
    Sempre tão fugaz
    A gente tem que conquistar
    Por que se negar
    Com tanto querer
    Por que não se dar
    Por quê? Por que recusar
    A luz em você
    Deixar pra depois
    Chorar...pra quê?
