Vibrational and acoustical characteristics of the piano soundboard
Kerem Ege, Xavier Boutillon
The vibrations of the soundboard of an upright piano in playing condition are investigated. It is first shown that the linear part of the response is at least 50 dB above its nonli…
Vibroacoustics of the piano soundboard: (Non)linearity and modal properties in the low and mid-frequency ranges
Kerem Ege, Xavier Boutillon, Marc Rébillat
The piano soundboard transforms the string vibration into sound and therefore, its vibrations are of primary importance for the sound characteristics of the instrument. An original…
Synthetic description of the piano soundboard mechanical mobility
Kerem Ege, Xavier Boutillon
An expression of the piano soundboard mechanical mobility (in the direction normal to the soundboard) depending on a small number of parameters and valid up to several kHz is given…
Global and local synthetic descriptions of the piano soundboard
Kerem Ege, Xavier Boutillon
Up to around 1.1 kHz, the soundboard of the piano behaves like a homogeneous plate whereas upper in frequency, it can be described as a set of waveguides defined by the ribs. In co…
Estimations of non-linearities in structural vibrations of string musical instruments
Kerem Ege, Marc Rébillat, Xavier Boutillon
Under the excitation of strings, the wooden structure of string instruments is generally assumed to undergo linear vibrations. As an alternative to the direct measurement of the di…
Comparison of the vibroacoustical characteristics of different pianos
Xavier Boutillon, Kerem Ege, Stephen Paulello
On the basis of a recently proposed vibro-acoustical model of the piano soundboard (X. Boutillon and K. Ege, Vibroacoustics of the piano soundboard: reduced models, mobility synthe…
