“…e Q −1 value of WPC was lower than that of RW and the WPNC exhibited the lowest value. It had been reported that wood with higher value of E d /c and lower in Q −1 is suitable for soundboards of violins and guitars [3,21]. It is suggested that the chemically impregnated Kayu Malam wood polymer composite (WPC) can be used for making soundboards, and nanoclayincorporated wood polymer nanocomposite (WPNC) is most suitable for this purposes.…”

e chemical modification or impregnation through preparing the wood polymer composites (WPCs) can effectively reduce the hygroscopicity as well as can improve the acoustic properties of wood. On the other hand, a small amount of nanoclay into the chemical mixture can further improve the different properties of the WPCs through the preparation of wood polymer nanocomposites (WPNCs). Kayu Malam wood species with styrene (St), vinyl acetate (VA), and montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay were used for the preparation of WPNCs. e acoustic properties such as specific dynamic Young's modulus (E d /γ), internal friction (Q −1 ), and acoustic conversion efficiency (ACE) of wood were examined using free-free flexural vibration. It was observed that the chemically impregnated wood composite showed a higher value of E d /γ than raw wood and the nanoclay-loaded wood nanocomposite showed the highest value. e reverse trend was observed in the case of Q −1. On the other hand, chemical impregnation has a minor effect on ACE of wood for musical instruments. e results suggested that the chemically impregnated Kayu Malam wood polymer nanocomposite (WPNC) is suitable for making soundboards of violin and guitar instruments to be played longer without losing tone quality.

“…In this study, however, we define the geometry of a "standard bow" from criteria found in the literature. Similarly, the Young's modulus E is fixed at 25 GPa, which is a typical value for pernambuco 15,28,29 . Measurements of a set of bows in professional use today would be needed to check whether this "standard bow" is representative of most bows available on the market.…”

“…By investigating the vibrational characteristic of wood as a soundboard, Norimoto et al (1986), Matsunaga et al (1996) and Kubojima et al (1997aKubojima et al ( , b, 1998 found that the wood acoustic vibrational characteristics were significantly affected by performance variables, such as the dynamic elastic modulus E/q, elastic modulus E and shear modulus ratio E/G, acoustic radiation damping coefficient R and acoustic impedance x, etc. Violins were ranked into different grades from the view of acoustic adaptability, aesthetic suitability and comprehensive evaluation using a subjective appraisal method by Buksnowitz (2007).…”

The vibrational performance of wood materials critical affects the acoustic quality of a lute. The purpose of this research was to apply a multiple choice model to predict the quality of musical instruments based on data on lute soundboard vibrational properties of Paulownia wood. In the lute production, lute material selection mainly depends on the subjective evaluation of technicians, which is not only inefficient, but inaccurate. In this study, nine lutes were fabricated. Using the multiple selection model, the lute tone quality was predicted by the soundboard wood vibration data. Compared with the actual value, the dependent value predicted by the count of observations with the maximum probability had 22 erroneous judgments. The model precision is 87.78%. The results confirmed that the prediction model can be used as a guideline for the selection of the soundboard wood in musical instrument plants.
