Acoustical Analysis of Tanbur, a Turkish Long-necked Lute
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of historical or ethnical musical instruments can provide means to verify and broaden our knowledge on musical acoustics. The Turkish tanbur, a member of evidently the oldest group of lute instruments, is a good example. Some important features of the instrument include its body resonator (a wooden hemispherical shell covered with a shallow plate) without a sound hole, its violin-like bridge, and its paired strings with an unusual tuning scheme. In this study we introduce the tanbur and discuss the results of an acoustical analysis of the instrument. The analysis data consists of various sound recordings and measurements realized in an anechoic chamber. Using time-frequency analysis techniques, we capture some of the acoustically important features of the tanbur, such as linear and nonlinear string vibration behavior. We interpret the analysis results combining and comparing with the research results available on string instruments of the western world.
