  • Saturation of Piano Markets ― History of the U.S
    Saturation of Piano Markets ― History of the U.S. and Asian Piano Industries ― Tomoaki TANAKA 1. Technical development of the piano and how its market grew The first acoustic piano was made in 1709 by Bartolomeo Cristofori, who was a harpsi- chord producer for the Medici family in Italy. The piano was originally built in the shape of a harpsichord. At the beginning pianos were played in relatively small rooms, such as in a salon of a noble residence. But pianos gradually came to be played at concert halls holding thousands of people. The sound of pianos needed to be more powerful and emo- tional. The only way was to increase the tension on the strings. New materials were need- ed since the existing wooden plates could not sustain such tension. Alpheus Babcock, who was a boiler shop owner in the U.S., invented the full iron frame piano in 1825. His pianos succeeded in obtaining more powerful tension than wooden frames and expanded the sound range by octaves. In 1837, Jonas Chickering, a piano engineer and a founder of Chickering & Sons in the U.S., improved Babcockʼs frames and a patent was granted to him in 1841. Steinway & Sons eventually played an even greater role in the evolution of the piano. Steinway & Sons was established in 1853 in New York by Heinrich Engelhart Steinway, who was a German piano producer. This company made important inventions and im- provements to the piano, for example the invention of the over-string scale(crossing the middle and bass strings) for grand pianos, quick response hammer action, and improve- ment of the full cast-iron plate.

    IT 16054 Examensarbete 15 hp Juni 2016 An Arduino-based MIDI Controller for Detecting Minimal Movements in Severely Disabled Children Mattias Linder Institutionen för informationsteknologi Department of Information Technology Abstract An Arduino-based MIDI Controller for Detecting Minimal Movements in Severely Disabled Children Mattias Linder Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten In therapy, music has played an important role for children with physical and cognitive impairments. Due to the nature of different impairments, many traditional Besöksadress: instruments can be very hard to play. This thesis describes the development of a Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 product in which electrical sensors can be used as a way of creating sound. These Hus 4, Plan 0 sensors can be used to create specially crafted controllers and thus making it possible for children with different impairments to create music or sound. This Postadress: thesis examines if it is possible to create such a device with the help of an Arduino Box 536 751 21 Uppsala micro controller, a smart phone and a computer. The end result is a product that can use several sensors simultaneously to either generate notes, change the Telefon: volume of a note or controlling the pitch of a note. There are three inputs for 018 – 471 30 03 specially crafted sensors and three static potentiometers which can also be used as Telefax: specially crafted sensors. The sensor inputs for the device are mini tele (2.5mm) 018 – 471 30 00 and any sensor can be used as long as it can be equipped with this connector.

  • A Brief History of Electronic Music
    A Brief History of Electronic Music 1: 1896-1945 The first twenty-five years of the life of the archetypal modern artist, Pablo Picasso - who was born in 1881 - witnessed the foundation of twentieth century technology for war and peace alike: the recoil operated machine gun (1882), the first synthetic fibre (1883), the Parsons steam turbine (1884), coated photographic paper (1885), the Tesla electric motor, the Kodak box camera and the Dunlop pneumatic tyre (1888), cordite (1889), the Diesel engine (1892), the Ford car (1893), the cinematograph and the gramophone disc (1894). In 1895, Roentgen discovered X-rays, Marconi invented radio telegraphy, the Lumiere brothers developed the movie camera, the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky first enunciated the principle of rocket drive, and Freud published his fundamental studies on hysteria. And so it went: the discovery of radium, the magnetic recording of sound, the first voice radio transmissions, the Wright brothers first powered flight (1903), and the annus mirabilis of theoretical physics, 1905, in which Albert Einstein formulated the Special Theory of Relativity, the photon theory of light, and ushered in the nuclear age with the climactic formula of his law of mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. One did not need to be a scientist to sense the magnitude of such changes. They amounted to the greatest alteration of man's view of the universe since Isaac Newton. - Robert Hughes (1981) In 1896 Thaddeus Cahill patented an electrically based sound generation system. It used the principle of additive tone synthesis, individual tones being built up from fundamentals and overtones generated by huge dynamos.
