Hi, I'm building Tinozza Acoustic Bass (fretless), my plan from RM Motolla and I need sugesstion. When I make side sound port (as a main sound hole).

Hello Herry,

No changes are needed to the top bracing for this soundhole placement. I would strongly suggest that the soundhole area in the ribs should be considerably reinforced though. Best of luck.
