Floyd Rose releases Stone Tone granite block

When considering a product like metal block vs granite rock block you need to realize the difference of both materials used. Metal is a Liquid, Stone is a solid which both are completely different composition to each other. The differences are very different on a science perspective as well as the end result. When granite is under pressure and simultaneously vibrating the atoms within the granites atomic structure gets excited thus creating the Stonetone® which is a result of utilizing the stored atomic energies in which it was created 1,000.000 + yrs ago..

Even though the specific gravity of the granite is 2.7 and Quartzite is 2.8 while steel is 5.4 to 6.8 + doesn't mean the metal is superior just means the density of the mass is, NOT how it reacts when put to use..

The heart/core of the Earth is stone and if you could tap into that "Natural power" and utilize it for your tone without adding another electronic gadget trying to give you an added this or that when you can get it raw undaunted by man quarried in its Natural state.

For example, The 37mm Stonetone® Big Block Rock Block weighs 2.4 ounces compared to the big block brass that's 6.8 ounces.

Please post before and after clips, including some with the guitar unamplified to demonstrate increased sustain and volume. Open notes probably are best.

EDIT: also post whatever data you have to support your 30% increase in whatever claim.
 
Yes, I'd like to hear some direct comparison clips.

Also, part of my reluctance is due to varying messages from the same industry. "Get a heavier block and sound better"..."get a lighter block and sound better"..."get a block of X material and sound better". When the only data is weight, size, or mass that doesn't really help quantify anything.

I would like to try one albeit not at that price. The only way to know is to try it, I thought a brass block would have marginal effect and they proved me wrong.

I'll be stopping by the local countertop places dumpster ASAP.

A buddy of mine has a machine shop is that presumably where this stone was cut and drilled? On metalworking machines?

Masonry drill bits and wet saws are cheap. You could make one of these in 5 minutes Sauvé :D

Thank you, :) I wanted to post certain things about the New Product to give a little light on some details for the few that get it, the rest will understand when Floyd Rose releases different types of scienctific proof and the like besides the A list artists that have used the blocks with great results. 2 of those A list artists are Ritchie Sambora and Steve Stevens... with many others.. Stay tuned.

I have several comparisons from local pro players but the real tests I'd rather come from Floyd Rose than post the several I have to prove the point. Again I won't reply to ignorant disrespectful posts from folks who don't have the scruples to realize I posted here to give folks a chance to ask valid questions to understand the concept better until FR releases the marketing that everyones asking for.

https://youtu.be/qGNuDsUWdxg This link should be a good start, there are more short clips there as well.
 
Welcome aboard Robert :cheers:

Do try to concentrate more on the scientific proof though, and less about who uses it. You're not going to sell a product by saying "If X person uses it then it must be good".

Also you're a bit wrong in your explanation of metal as a liquid. In thermodynamics you learn to apply fluid dynamics which involves and applies to inert gases and liquids, but does not include or apply to solids.

I do use a brass block on one of my guitars and know for a fact there is a difference. But the granite explanation and selling point smells and looks of snake oil. There is not a single word mentioned of density or changes in density in granite versus pressed or poured forms of metals.

However you plan to sell the product - I wish you luck and want to welcome you to RT :)

Ah right, how are those mercury sustain blocks? I've only tried brass and steel, which, last time I checked, were solid.

Maybe you're referring to the old analogy of metals being "cations in a sea of free electrons", but that still doesn't mean they're liquid.

In the last bit are you invoking Einstein's law of relativity? I'm no physicist but I think those "stored energies" are present in any atom and will be released when any atom is split. I could be wrong but I'm guessing your sustain blocks aren't generating nuclear fission. The age shouldn't matter either, the energy is either there or it's not.

Furthermore, surely if those energies were released, wouldn't that be the end of it? There's finite energy there, and once it's gone, it's gone. That first chord would sound badass, and then after that...

Granite, when quarried in its natural state, is not only of an ideal density for the purpose of
sustain, but also has a crystalline atomic structure which is ideal for sonic transference

May I ask which crystalline structure you're referring to? There are only 14 structures that are found in nature, all of which are commonly found in iron, steel, and granite. Also I would have to call out bullshit if you claim to have a granite with a single crystalline structure... as grain is formed from the meeting of different structures and granite comes from the Latin word granum.. "grain"

Granite is a very generic term that covers a massive spectrum of rock as well, just as "blue" is a generic descriptor for a wide array of colors. Interestingly enough, there is a granitoid called Tonalite. There's so much potential for snake oil you could exploit there, instead of using the most generic descriptor of rock there is... granite :lol: :LOL:

I'm curious to hear why one of the patents listed on the Stonetone block is for a detergent (7,645,345).

The core of the earth is stone in liquid form. How does that fit in with your aims, and does that affect how much of this curious power it yields?

Brass is used for musical response in bells, hence is hailed as a musical sustainer in Floyd blocks.
I'm struggling to come up with one musical example of stone as a transmitter.
 
I've had great success on Guitars, Bass, Acoustic, Piano, harp, cello, violin and viola.

Just because my description isn't from a Doctorate Graduates perspective doesn't mean I haven't worked with them.
I am not here to discuss in depths of my technology or my sources yet I wanted to post about some attributes to the technology/product.
The 2 patents and 3 Trademarks are all on public FILE @ the USPTO.
No matter any natural material whether solid or liquid if man alters that material from its natural state it becomes man-made.
Metal is heated to a liquid..
Granite is Quarried.
I've posted the press release purported by Floyd Rose based on there findings about the product.
Your brass blocks and so on don't come from the earth as such.. Enjoy some good reading because there is allot to cover if you have the time.
Once you hear the Rock Block.
:yes:

??? Transmitter? Really ... Transducer is the word you should be using.
