Analysis and Synthesis of the Guqin -a Chinese Traditional Instrument
نویسنده
چکیده
The GuQin, a seven-stringed zither, is China's oldest stringed instrument, with a history of some 3000 years. In Chinese, “Gu” means old and “Qin” means musical instrument. Historically, GuQin was referred to as " Qin " in most ancient Chinese writings. Owing to its long history, it has been widely called GuQin during the last 100 years. This summer in China, we conducted an interview with Fengyun Lee, a renowned master of the GuQin. She introduced the characteristic of GuQin and showed some of typical playing techniques to help us to understand the acoustics and techniques related to the GuQin.

Physical Modeling of the Guqin a Chinese String Instrument
This paper discusses acoustical properties and proposes a sound synthesis model for the plucked stringed instrument called guqin. The guqin is an ancient Chinese musical instrument with seven strings. The strings are plucked with the right hand while the left hand pushes the strings against the top plate of the body. In the playing of the instrument, slides and flageolet tones are an important ...
متن کاملModel-based sound synthesis of the guqin.
This paper presents a model-based sound synthesis algorithm for the Chinese plucked string instrument called the guqin. The instrument is fretless, which enables smooth pitch glides from one note to another. A version of the digital waveguide synthesis approach is used, where the string length is time-varying and its energy is scaled properly. A body model filter is placed in cascade with the s...
