  • Measurement and Modeling of a Resonator Guitar
    ISMA 2019 Measurement and modeling of a resonator guitar Mark Rau(1)∗, Julius O. Smith III(1) (1)Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, Stanford University, USA Abstract Resonator guitars are acoustic instruments which have one or more spun metal cones embedded in the top plate, with strings driving the cone directly through a bridge. They were originally designed to be louder than traditional acoustic guitars and are often played with a metal slide. The vibrational characteristics of resonator guitars having a single inverted-cone are studied as the basis for a synthesis model. The small-signal input admittance is obtained using an impact hammer and laser Doppler vibrometer. As well, sinusoidal sweeps are made using a modal shaker at various driving amplitude levels. The shaker measurements show that some of the modes exhibit nonlinear characteristics. These measurements are used to design body resonator filters with time-varying resonant modes for a digital waveguide model of the resonator guitar. Keywords: Guitar, Measurement, Modeling 1 INTRODUCTION During the early twentieth century, the playing levels of American bands were increasing due to the use of brass instruments and percussion. Conventional stringed instruments were not loud enough to compete, leading to the invention of “resophonic” or “resonator” instruments. Resonator instruments have similar construction to their traditional counterparts, with the addition of one or more spun metal cones replacing the majority of the top plates. With the introduction of electronically amplified musical instruments, the need for louder acoustic instruments was reduced, but by this time, resophonic instruments had already become part of the canon of American music such as blues and traditional music.

  • Mark Simon's Terraplane Resonator Guitars
    Mark Simon's Terraplane Resonator Guitars (index.html) Good Vibrations How Sweet e Sound! Mark Simon and the Terraplane resonator guitar. One hundred years ago, in 1916, the Martin Guitar Company manufactured a new model called a Dreadnought. e most o vious characteristic of the Dreadnought"to this day the most popular acoustic guitar style in America"was its larger ody si$e, meant to help players in their e%orts to e heard amidst the rass and percussive instruments that made up many popular ensem les of the day. Later, in the 1920s, a violin repairman named )ohn Dopyera addressed the pro lem in a di%erent way when he made the *rst resonator guitar for George Beauchamp, a ,audeville lap steel guitar player from Te.as. Rather than rely on the instrument0s wooden top and ody to amplify the sound waves from the strings, Dopyera devised aluminum cones that received the string vi rations through a variety of com inations and con*gurations, producing a sound much louder and righter than that of a traditional acoustic guitar. Dopyera and Beauchamp egan manufacturing tri1cone, metal1 odied 2ational Steel guitars in Los Angeles in 1927.

  • ACOUSTIC Waterloo WL-12 the Waterloo Line from Collings Guitars Seeks to Evoke the Small-Bodied Soul of Pre- War Acoustics
    ACOUSTIC Waterloo WL-12 The Waterloo line from Collings Guitars seeks to evoke the small-bodied soul of pre- war acoustics. These are not overly ornate Waterloo WL-12 flat-tops, but simpler workhorses that put a Price: $2,200 (list) premium on sounding good. Info: www.waterlooguitars.com The WL-12 is a 12-fret acoustic fitted with an X-braced spruce top and flamed-maple back and sides, topped with an Iced Tea Santa Cruz Vintage finish, tortoise pickguard, and white top Southerner binding. The body has a width of 14.75" on Price: $5,700 (list) the lower bout and a neck scale of 24.875", Info: www.santacruzguitar.com while its rosewood fingerboard has dot inlays, vintage-styled tuners, and a drop-in saddle. Also impressive is its light weight – under 3.5 pounds. The neck is a larger D-shape that’s quite comfortable and set up with low action. One selling point is that, with the 12-fret design, the bridge sits closer to the middle of the lower bout, which endeavors to create more bass and projection. In practice, the WL-12 sounded like a fine parlor guitar, with medium bass, pleasing high-end, and a midrange akin to a resonator guitar – just right for miked-up recording, gigging, or playing on the porch. Overall, the Waterloo WL-12 is more about craftsmanship and tone than fancy finishes, and it more than delivers in that regard. Com- pared to a heavier dreadnought or jumbo, the light weight and playability of the guitar also makes the WL-12 a go-to instrument that sounds great for fingerpicking, blues, ragtime, bottleneck, country, or any kind of acoustic music you can think of.

  • Guitar in Oxford Music Online
    Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Guitar article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/43006 Guitar (Fr. guitare; Ger. Gitarre; It. chitarra; Sp. guitarra; Port.viola; Brazilian Port. violão). A string instrument of the lute family, plucked or strummed, and normally with frets along the fingerboard. It is difficult to define precisely what features distinguish guitars from other members of the lute family, because the name ‘guitar’ has been applied to instruments exhibiting a wide variation in morphology and performing practice. The modern classical guitar has six strings, a wooden resonating chamber with incurved sidewalls and a flat back. Although its earlier history includes periods of neglect as far as art music is concerned, it has always been an instrument of popular appeal, and has become an internationally established concert instrument endowed with an increasing repertory. In the Hornbostel and Sachs classification system the guitar is a ‘composite chordophone’ of the lute type (seeLUTE, §1, andCHORDOPHONE). 1. Structure of the modern guitar. Fig.1 shows the parts of the modern classical guitar. In instruments of the highest quality these have traditionally been made of carefully selected woods: the back and sidewalls of Brazilian rosewood, the neck cedar and the fingerboard ebony; the face or table, acoustically the most important part of the instrument, is of spruce, selected for its resilience, resonance and grain (closeness of grain is considered important, and a good table will have a grain count about 5 or 6 per cm). The table and back are each composed of two symmetrical sections, as is the total circumference of the sidewalls.
