ABSTRACT

The acoustic vibration characteristics of ancient musical instrument resonator are vital factors to determine the tone quality of ancient instruments. In order to uncover the mystery of the relationship between the material and structure of ancient musical instrument resonator and tone quality, it is necessary to analyze the acoustic vibration of ancient musical instrument resonator scientifically. In order to analyze the acoustic vibration of the musical instrument, not only the structural characteristics of the musical instrument itself should be understood, but also the principle of vibration mechanics and acoustical principle should be mastered, with the finite element analysis and frequency analysis methods applied to all requirements. The testing and analysis technology of domestic acoustic vibration characteristics of musical instruments is still in its infancy, and most of the research objects are limited to the wood units or whole boards used in the production of musical instruments, which rarely involved the systematic analysis of the acoustic vibration characteristics of finished ancient musical instruments. This paper provides references for the quality control of ancient musical instruments and other resonating instruments in the process of manufacturing and the exploration on modification of instrument manufacturing material.
