All existing acoustic string instruments are essentially vibroacoustic systems that transmit the vibrational energy of strings to a resonator through a bridge. This efficiently converts the ...

The physical modelling and simulation of string instruments is an interdisciplinary field that integrates mathematical analyses, numerical simulations, and experimental validations to replicate the ...

To non-musicians I’m sure that steel-string and nylon-string guitars probably look almost indistinguishable – they’re just acoustic guitars. However, anyone who has listened to both side-by-side will ...

We’ve all encountered acoustic guitars that seem unplayable with their inflexible strings and unforgiving actions. You might think that this is a result of bad craftsmanship, but chances are it’s ...
