you can change the amount of yarn and thus the sound release time.
HINTS AND TIPS: The effect of the

decrease of the yarn and thus increase the release time.
PICKUP POSITION

character of the sound.
Guitarists well know the pickup position affects the guitar timbre. With the

The bar dimensions are related with the frequency of the produced note,
while the tone character and length depends on the Bar Material.
The more rigid and homogeneous (metal) the bar material, the sharper the
resonances and the slower is the sound decay.
The more elastic and anisotropic (wood), the bar material, the weaker the
resonances and the faster the sound decay.
