Top initially optimized 73 g

Quite a task to get this one within reasonable measures. High density (0,49 g/cm3) and low transverse stiffness. One thing to remember with high density tops is that it looks bad when starting to hollow out the inside. M5 starts low, because the plate is heavy in the middle. 

Arch height: 17,4 mm

initial weight:    73 g (finished ~70 g)

M5:                355 Hz

M2:                152 Hz

Purfling channel upper/lower bouts 2,8 - 2,9 mm, C-bouts 3,5 mm.

Healthy thicknesses:

A    2,7 - 2,8 mm

B    1,8 - 2,0 mm

C    3,3 - 3,5 mm

D    1,9 - 2,0 mm

Edges upper/lower 2,2 - 2,3

Near purfling 2,5 - 2,8 mm
