Hi,
I want to estimate the frequency response of a violin and  guitar body, so
that I can examine the excitation spectrum.  The only method I have at my
disposal is that of recording the body response to an impulse, i.e. tapping
it.  I would greatly appreciate any advice on optimising this estimate.

Thanks,
Sean.
