What is a "soundboard"?
A soundboard is a flat, resonant surface on a musical instrument, such as a piano, guitar, or violin, that amplifies and projects the sound. It is typically located on the top of the instrument’s body. The soundboard vibrates in response to the strings' vibrations, helping to enhance and sustain the instrument's tone and volume. The size, shape, and material of the soundboard significantly influence the instrument’s overall sound quality and resonance.
