  • Instrument Descriptions
    RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it.

  • The Nonlinear Physics of Musical Instruments
    Rep. Prog. Phys. 62 (1999) 723–764. Printed in the UK PII: S0034-4885(99)65724-4 The nonlinear physics of musical instruments N H Fletcher Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra 0200, Australia Received 20 October 1998 Abstract Musical instruments are often thought of as linear harmonic systems, and a first-order description of their operation can indeed be given on this basis, once we recognise a few inharmonic exceptions such as drums and bells. A closer examination, however, shows that the reality is very different from this. Sustained-tone instruments, such as violins, flutes and trumpets, have resonators that are only approximately harmonic, and their operation and harmonic sound spectrum both rely upon the extreme nonlinearity of their driving mechanisms. Such instruments might be described as ‘essentially nonlinear’. In impulsively excited instruments, such as pianos, guitars, gongs and cymbals, however, the nonlinearity is ‘incidental’, although it may produce striking aural results, including transitions to chaotic behaviour. This paper reviews the basic physics of a wide variety of musical instruments and investigates the role of nonlinearity in their operation. 0034-4885/99/050723+42$59.50 © 1999 IOP Publishing Ltd 723 724 N H Fletcher Contents Page 1.

The instruments in the violin family are the violin, the viola, the cello, and the double bass. These instruments became popular in Italy during the 1600s. Some well-known string instrument makers during this period were the Guarneri, Stradivari, and Amati families in Italy. A person that makes or repairs string instruments is called a luthier (LOO- The Violin Family thee-ur). Luthier is a French word that means lute-maker. A lute is an early guitar played by strumming the strings with the fingers. The violin, viola, cello, and bass all have four strings and The Lute from make sound by causing those strings to vibrate over the hollow belly of the Disney’s Sleeping instrument.

  • How to Choose an Instrument … Choosing a Musical Instrument Can Be a Big Challenge, Especially with the Wide Range of Choices Available
    How to Choose an Instrument … Choosing a musical instrument can be a big challenge, especially with the wide range of choices available. While there is no guarantee that a student will like an instrument when they first try it, here are some helpful things to consider when choosing: Age is one of the most important factors because students often need to be a certain size, or have adequate physical strength, dexterity and coordination, or breath support to play the instrument. A student’s personality is also very important because some instruments, like the piano, tend to be more solitary, while others can include a more social element (such as participating in ensembles, bands, or orchestras). Another important element is the sound of the instrument. Students of all ages are often attracted to an instrument’s unique sound, which is a good indication that they will be more motivated to want to learn how to play. No matter which instrument you choose, you will be gaining valuable foundational skills which can be applied to any type of music study. Read descriptions and watch videos of the instruments in action: Bass (Ages 6+) The bass is the backbone of every ensemble. Whether it’s upright (acoustic) or electric, playing classical, jazz or rock, the bass holds every group together, rhythmically and harmonically. Jazz String Bass Classical String Bass Electric Bass Bassoon (Ages 9+) This distinctive double-reed instrument is the lowest-pitched member of the woodwind family and is always in demand for student and professional ensembles. Bassoon Cello (Ages 6+) This beautiful bowed string instrument is played in a sitting position and shares the same family as the violin or viola but has thicker and longer strings.

The tuning of the taraf varies among players, but generally one part is tuned chromatically and diatonically, while the other part is tuned according to the rag of the musical piece, resulting in a rich and highly reverberant sound when the main strings are bowed.

This article reviews acoustical and psychological arguments that might explain why a musical instrument would be likened to the singing human voice. The authors could find no evidence to support the idea of any single instrument being systematically, and consistently, regarded as voicelike. The human voice is frequently referred to as an ideal to which a well- played musical instrument should aspire. However, investigations are few that go beyond speculation and introspection regarding what instrument or instruments sound voicelike and why. Although no single instrument emerged as being systematically and consistently voicelike, a program of empirical research is suggested to determine whether there currently exist (possibly culturally promulgated) beliefs about what instrument is considered most voicelike and why. Keywords acoustics, action-perception loop, expressiveness, mimicry, timbre, voicelike musical instruments Music psychologists have shown increasing interest in explaining why we experience emotion in music, particularly in non-vocal music, which has no words to guide us with denotations of emotional experiences. The vocal apparatus is good at communicating emotion through pros- ody, and there exists strong evidence that music, whether performed by the voice or non-vocal instruments, is able to communicate these emotions (Juslin, 2000; Juslin & Laukka, 2003a; Mithen, 2005, 2009; Scherer, 1995).
