Some early violins have been reduced during their history to fit imposed morphological standards, while more recent ones have been built directly to these standards. We can observe differences between reduced and unreduced instruments,…

Some early violins have been reduced during their history to fit imposed morphological standards, while more recent ones have been built directly to these standards. We propose an objective photogrammetric approach to differentiate between…

We explore the automatic detection of violin width reduction using 3D photogrammetric meshes. We compare SVM and Decision Trees applied to a geometry-based raw representation built from elevation maps with a more targeted,…

Since the landmarks established by the Cremonese school in the 16th century, the history of violin design has been marked by experimentation. While great effort has been invested since the early 19th century by the scientific community on…

We recently developed a neural network that receives as input the geometrical and mechanical parameters that define a violin top plate and gives as output its first ten eigenfrequencies computed in free boundary conditions. In this…

The tone hole geometry of a clarinet is optimized numerically. The instrument is modeled as a network of one dimensional transmission line elements. For each (non-fork) fingering, we first calculate the resonance frequencies of the input…

Of all the characteristics of a violin, those that concern its shape are probably the most important ones, as the violin maker has complete control over them. Contemporary violin making, however, is still based more on tradition than…

It is a widespread belief among musicians that a violin's sound ``opens up'' or improves through regular playing. However, physical evidence for this ``playing-in'' effect remains elusive. This study revisited the phenomenon by testing two…

Music is a mysterious language that conveys feeling and thoughts via different tones and timbre. For better understanding of timbre in music, we chose music data of 6 representative instruments, analysed their timbre features and classified…

Three hundred years ago, Antonio Stradivari enjoyed the golden period of the violin making in the human history. Luthiers and researchers endeavor to study his legendary legacy. Unfortunately, a consensus that the present progress has…

Identifying musical instruments in polyphonic music recordings is a challenging but important problem in the field of music information retrieval. It enables music search by instrument, helps recognize musical genres, or can make music…

Under the excitation of strings, the wooden structure of string instruments is generally assumed to undergo linear vibrations. As an alternative to the direct measurement of the distortion rate at several vibration levels and frequencies,…

The violin is one of the most popular musical instruments. Various parameters of bowing motion, such as pressure, position, and speed, are crucial for producing a beautiful tone. However, mastering them is challenging and requires extensive…

This work aims to improve our understanding of the resonance wood and to investigate the interactions between their physical-mechanical properties, natural variability, and the violin makers' ways of choosing their materials. In order to…

This was a revision of arXiv:1105.2454v1 from 2012. It considers a variation on the STIV estimator where, instead of one conic constraint, there are as many conic constraints as moments (instruments) allowing to use more directly moderate…

Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are one of the cornerstones of musical acoustic experimental research. They describe the way in which musical instruments vibrate in a wide range of frequencies and are used to predict and understand the…

Musical performance combines a wide range of pitches, nuances, and expressive techniques. Audio-based classification of musical instruments thus requires to build signal representations that are invariant to such transformations. This…

Tabla, a percussion instrument, mainly used to accompany vocalists, instrumentalists and dancers in every style of music from classical to light in India, mainly used for keeping rhythm. This percussion instrument consists of two drums…

In many musical traditions, the melody line is of primary significance in a piece. Human listeners can readily distinguish melodies from accompaniment; however, making this distinction given only the written score -- i.e. without listening…

We propose a methodology to study music development by applying multivariate statistics on composers characteristics. Seven representative composers were considered in terms of eight main musical features. Grades were assigned to each…
