The paper presents a method to obtain the modal expansion of the measured input
impedance of a brass instrument. The method operates as a peak-picking procedure, which …

For large-scale woodwind instrument makers, producing instruments with exactly the same
playing characteristics is a constant aim. This paper explores manufacturing consistency by …

Recent studies showed that mechanical coupling between structure and strings can alter the
sound of the solid body electric guitar. Modal frequencies and damping ratios of the structure …

Two mass-produced trumpets of the same model type have been shown to exhibit significant
acoustical differences [6] due to the presence of a tiny leak in the bore of one of the two …

This article investigates the relationship between the shape of the mouthpiece and its
acoustical properties in brass instruments. The hypothesis is that not only different volumes …

This article describes how the input impedance is used as a descriptor to classify and
characterise the corpus of serpents from the Musée de la Musique. The study focuses on the …

摘要(中) 本論文探討小號結構與內部空氣耦合後對聲場的影響, 並進一步用聲場分析結果計算
音質參數. 當空氣振動時會對結構產生正向力, 再加上結構振動同樣會對空氣產生正向力 …

The document begins with a brief description of the main parts of the tuba: the mouthpiece,
the valves, the body and the bell; in addition to a short explanation of the different types of …

For conservation reasons, wind musical instruments kept in most of the museums cannot be
played. Indeed the musician, blowing into the instrument, causes a violent thermo-hygro …

The sound field is determined by the sound pressure and velocity, which characterize its
temporal and spatial properties. The speed of sound in air depends on temperature but is …
