  • Electric & Acoustic Guitar Strings: a Recording of Harmonic Content
    Electric & Acoustic Guitar Strings: A Recording of Harmonic Content Ryan Lee, Graduate Researcher Electrical & Computer Engineering Department University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign In conjunction with Professor Steve Errede and the Department of Physics Friday, January 10, 2003 2 Introduction The purpose of this study was to analyze the harmonic content and decay of different guitar strings. Testing was done in two parts: 80 electric guitar strings and 145 acoustic guitar strings. The goal was to obtain data for as many different brands, types, and gauges of strings as possible. Testing Each string was tested only once, in brand new condition (unless otherwise noted). Once tuned properly, each string was plucked with a bare thumb in two different positions. For the electric guitar, the two positions were at the top of the bridge pickup and at the top of the neck pickup. For the acoustic guitar, the two positions were at the bottom of the sound hole and at the top of the sound hole. The signal path for the recording of an electric guitar string was as follows: 1994 Gibson SG Standard to ¼” input on a Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) 896 to a computer (via firewire). Steinberg’s Cubase VST 5.0 was the software used to capture the .wav files. The 1999 Taylor 410CE acoustic guitar was recorded in an anechoic chamber. A Bruel & Kjær 4145 condenser microphone was connected directly to a Sony TCD-D8 portable DAT recorder (via its B&K preamp, power supply, and cables). Recording format was mono, 48 kHz, and 16- bit.

    Journal of the Violin Society of America, Volume XVI, No. 2 Proceedings of the 25th Annual National Convention New Designs and Modern Violins Saturday, November 8, 1997, 2:00 pm Albert Mell: From early childhood Guy Rabut has been very much in- volved with art and drawing, and this interest has been maintained throughout his career. After working in the Français shop under René Morel for a number of years, Guy opened his own shop on 28th Street in Manhattan, where he is concerned primarily with making new instruments. If you are in New York Iʼm sure he would be glad to see you. Since 1995 Guy has been working on what seems to be a new face of the violin. These are violins which are built acoustically according to traditional methods, but incorporate new design ideas to create an aesthetic interest. I give you Guy Rabut. Guy Rabut: Good afternoon. I would like to thank Phil Kass and the VSA for inviting me to speak today. I attended my first VSA meeting in 1980 when it was at Hofstra University. I have been to several since, and have always enjoyed myself and learned a great deal. For several years I have been pursuing traditional violin making. But always in the back of my mind I wanted to expand the aesthetic envelope and try some new designs and ideas within the parameters of violin mak- ing. As they evolved, the ideas went from non-traditional decorations on a traditional playing instrument to completely new forms and surface treat- ments on the acoustic skeleton of the traditional violin.

Guitar Performance in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Paul Sparks By 1800 guitars with six single strings (tuned EAdgbe') had become the norm. The rosette gave way to an open sound hole, while the neck was lengthened and fitted with a raised fingerboard extending to the sound hole. Nineteen fixed metal frets eventually became standard, the top note sounding b". The bridge was raised, the body enlarged, and fan-strutting introduced beneath the table to support higher tension strings. Treble strings were made of gut (superseded by more durable nylon after World War 11), bass strings from metal wound on silk (or, more recently, nylon floss). Tablature became obsolete, guitar music being universally written in the treble clef, sounding an octave lower than written. By the 1820s makers such as Louis Panormo of London were replacing wooden tuning pegs with machine heads for more precise tuning, and creating the prototype of the modem classical guitar (a design perfected in mid-century by Antonio Torres).
