The way a segmented shell is made, there are no plies. Instead, they stack little "bricks" of wood. Since it uses roughly 1/1000 of the amount of glue in a ply shell, it vibrates MUCH more freely and uniformly, producing a louder and purer sound. Very similar to the idea behind a solid shell, but much stronger because of the way it's constructed. Also, it allows you to use woods that are not conducive to ply construction.
