This book addresses the analysis of musical sounds from the
viewpoint of someone at the intersection between physicists,
engineers, piano technicians, and musicians. The study is
structured into three parts. The reader is introduced to a variety
of waves and a variety of ways of presenting, visualizing, and
analyzing them in the first part. A tutorial on the tools used
throughout the book accompanies this introduction. The mathematics
behind the tools is left to the appendices. Part Two provides a
graphical survey of the classical areas of acoustics that pertain
to musical instruments: vibrating strings, bars, membranes, and
plates. Part Three is devoted almost exclusively to the piano.
Several two- and three-dimensional graphical tools are introduced
to study various characteristics of pianos: individual notes and
interactions among them, the missing fundamental, inharmonicity,
tuning visualization, the different distribution of harmonic power
for the various zones of the piano keyboard, and potential uses for
quality control. These techniques are also briefly applied to other
musical instruments studied in earlier parts of the book. For
physicists and engineers there are appendices to cover the
mathematics lurking beneath the numerous graphs and a brief
introduction to Matlab (R) which was used to generate these graphs.
A website accompanying the book
(https://sites.google.com/site/analysisofsoundsandvibrations/)
contains: - Matlab (R) scripts - mp3 files of sounds - references
to YouTube videos - and up-to-date results of recent studies
