The modifications may comprise raised curvilinear ridges disposed on the baffle of the or curvilinear valleys carved into the baffle. Additionally, the modifications may include specific patterns designed to elicit different, yet still pleasing sounds from the instrument. These patterns may include a first pattern having a first central linear modification flanked by a set of modifications having parabolic elongated modifications wherein each modification has a parabolic focus increasingly more distant from each respective modification in a direction away from the central modification and also flanked by a set of modifications having parabolic elongated modifications fashioned in the opposite direction. Another pattern may include modifications that are linear but spaced apart from each other in an increasingly distant pattern.
