All existing acoustic string instruments are essentially vibroacoustic systems that transmit the vibrational energy of strings to a resonator through a bridge. This efficiently converts the ...

We’ve all encountered acoustic guitars that seem unplayable with their inflexible strings and unforgiving actions. You might think that this is a result of bad craftsmanship, but chances are it’s ...

To non-musicians I’m sure that steel-string and nylon-string guitars probably look almost indistinguishable – they’re just acoustic guitars. However, anyone who has listened to both side-by-side will ...

Acoustic and classical guitars look very similar, both made of wood, both with six strings, and both with the familiar guitar shape with a curved body and long neck. But there are key differences that ...

Fender has recently updated their Paramount Acoustic guitar line and added a Bluegrass series. Under the Paramount umbrella, there are currently three different levels: All-Mahogany, Standard, and ...

Stringed instruments make noise from the vibrations of tuned strings, using acoustic or electronic means to amplify those vibrations to the point where they’re loud enough to hear. The strings are ...

The physical modelling and simulation of string instruments is an interdisciplinary field that integrates mathematical analyses, numerical simulations, and experimental validations to replicate the ...

Soliste is a fine example of modelling software, providing some really engaging sounds, particularly for the contemporary domain. If you are looking for an acoustic clone, MPE becomes fairly essential ...
