Computer Optimization of Brass Wind Instruments
Computer optimization of brass wind instruments combines knowledge in several different areas. Usually the performance of those instruments is described by musical terms. Characteristics like intonation, response, pitch variability, sound timbre or efficiency have first to be objectified and mapped to acoustical properties which can be measured and properly predicted by computer simulation.
متن کاملModelling the Wall Vibrations of Brass Wind Instruments
The vibration of the walls of brass wind instruments has been a subject of study in the field of musical acoustics throughout the last decades. The amplitude of such vibrations, stimulated by the oscillating air pressure inside the instrument bore, is very small compared to the dimensions of the instrument. However, it has been recently shown that at the flaring regions of the bell of brass ins...
متن کاملSome initial findings regarding first language influence on playing brass instruments
This paper presents some initial findings regarding the influence of First Language on playing brass instruments. Using ultrasound imaging of the tongue, vowel production and sustained trombone notes were compared for a New Zealand English and a Tongan speaker. It is suggested that, during trombone playing, the tongue shapes used by the Tongan participant pattern with the back vowel /o/ while t...
متن کاملNumerical Techniques for Acoustic Modelling and Design of Brass Wind Instruments
Preface. When H. Bouasse published his Instrumentsà Vent in two volumes in 1929–30, he set the starting point for what can be regarded as modern research on musical acoustics. Some 40 years later, the stock of published papers could be counted in their hundreds. However, it is only during the last two or three decades that our physical understanding, in combination with the development of compu...
متن کاملInfluence of wall vibrations on the sound of brass wind instruments.
The results of an experimental and theoretical investigation of the influence of wall vibrations on the sound of brass wind instruments are presented. Measurements of the transmission function and input impedance of a trumpet, with the bell both heavily damped and freely vibrating, are shown to be consistent with a theory that assumes that the internal pressure causes an oscillation of the diam...
