What is the "upper bout"?
The upper bout is the top section of the body of a stringed instrument, such as a violin or guitar. It is positioned above the instrument's waist and extends towards the neck. This part of the instrument is typically narrower and helps define its shape. The design of the upper bout affects the instrument’s tonal quality and playability, influencing how the instrument produces sound and feels to the player.
