Tentallones are the individual pieces used to attach the classical top to the sides.
The order of operation is to attach the top to the neck, making sure that the centerline of the top and neck are lined up. Then the sides are inserted into the slots in the heel and clamped down onto a workboard. The lining that binds the top to the sides are attached one piece at a time.
The picture shows these pieces being cut. A piece of basswood stock 1/4" x 1/2" is beveled on one side then cut into 1/4" pieces. A sample tentallone is shown on the left side.
