Study of Relationship between Performed Tones and Force of Bow Holding using Silent Violin
Akihiro Matsutani · Japanese Journal of Applied Physics · 2003
The relationship between performed tones and the force of bow holding was investigated by using pressure measurement film and the silent violin. The force of bow holding was classified into six types in this experiment. It was found that the performed tones could be characterized by using spectral envelopes. It was also scientifically identified that the performed tones depend on the distribution of force of bow holding. I believe that the scientific knowledge as visualized in this measurement is useful for an amateur violinist to make progress in violin performance.
