So what were builders and players after that they made the body bigger and the barring stronger on modern classical guitars?

In that same excellent concert the second half was played on a replica
of a 19th century guitar, the kind with a smaller body and simple
lute-like barring. I'm struck by how beautiful, bright, and clear the
sound of these instruments is, especially when playing music from that
period. (I heard a fine Carulli sonata.)
