Musical string vibration has been the subject of scientific study for centuries. Recent
increases in computational power have allowed the exploration of increasingly detailed …

The authors performed a behavioral study of the complexity of left-hand finger movements in
classical guitar playing. Six professional guitarists played movement sequences in a fixed …

Sound synthesis based on physical modeling of stringed instruments has been an active
research field for the last decade. The most efficient synthe-sis models have been obtained …

Physically inspired sound synthesis techniques have been devised for several instruments
including guitar. Less well studied are methods to model the interactions of the player with …

In the quest for synthetic sound of a natural acoustic character fretted instruments, such as
the guitar, present numerous challenges. For fully articulated synthesis, sample-based …

The calibration of model parameters is a crucial subproblem for realistic modelbased sound
synthesis. This paper describes the revision of the calibration process of a classical guitar …

Aims. We aim to show that cognitive-based and suitable fingerings for string instruments can
be achieved by a computationally efficient algorithm. Main contribution. Our work might be …

We present the Kalichord: a small, handheld electro/acoustic instrument in which the
player's right hand plucks virtual strings while his left hand uses buttons to play independent …

This paper focuses on the extraction of the excitation point location on a guitar string by an
iterative estimation of the structural parameters of the spectral envelope. We propose a …
