    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Music Acoustics (Associated Meeting of the International Congress on Acoustics) 25-31 August 2010, Sydney and Katoomba, Australia Experimental Approaches on Vibratory and Acoustic Characterization of Harp-Guitars Enrico Ravina (1) (1) University of Genoa, MUSICOS Centre of Research, Genoa, Italy PACS: 43.75.- z; 43.75.Gh ABSTRACT The paper describes the results of a research activity, still under development, oriented to the vibratory and acoustic characterization of harp-guitars. Vibration analyses show interesting differences between harp-guitars and classical guitars about displacements detected on the soundboard and on the bridge and their dependence to frequencies. Acoustic analyses detect very different responses of harp-guitars to various frequencies, showing also the different acoustic emission at sound holes. Comparisons between signals detected by external and surface internal micro- phones allow estimating effects of the acoustic damping in these particular instruments.

Congratulations! Your purchase proves your taste in musical instruments is superb. Peavey offers a wide variety of bass guitars for beginners to professionals, each with unique qualities and features. While our professional luthiers have carefully inspected your guitar, every model requires some initial setup, and periodic maintenance is required for peak performance. To ensure proper care of your quality instrument, visit www.peavey.com/accessories for Peavey-recommended accessories, parts and cleaning supplies. Cleaning & Care When properly cared for, your Peavey bass will offer you years of pleasure. Playing your bass means that you will need to perform regular, general maintenance, such as cleaning and proper storage, to keep it looking and sounding great. Every time you play your bass, body oils and perspiration are transferred to the body, back of the neck, headstock, fingerboards, strings, tuners, pickups and bridge. After you finish performing, but before you put your bass away, take a moment to remove these contaminants. Cleaning - Wood To clean and care for the major wood parts of your bass guitar (body, headstock and the back of the neck), Peavey recommends that you use a clean, soft, lint-free, dry cotton cloth and the specially formulated guitar polish available at www.peavey.com/acces- sories.
