Abstract
Experimental data were measured by Caldersmith over many years and during different stages of the construction of several violins. Unfortunately, it seems that these valuable data were never published. From the personal notes of Caldersmith that were printed (where resonant frequency, mass, thickness, instrument model, etc., are listed), a possible link between resonant frequencies of free plates and their finished instruments was investigated. However, there is no evidence to support that such a link could be strong; thus the rigidity of the rib assembly of the violins may play a more important role than generally considered.
期刊介绍:
Acoustics Australia, the journal of the Australian Acoustical Society, has been publishing high quality research and technical papers in all areas of acoustics since commencement in 1972. The target audience for the journal includes both researchers and practitioners. It aims to publish papers and technical notes that are relevant to current acoustics and of interest to members of the Society. These include but are not limited to: Architectural and Building Acoustics, Environmental Noise, Underwater Acoustics, Engineering Noise and Vibration Control, Occupational Noise Management, Hearing, Musical Acoustics.
