Abstract
This capstone project aims to address the needs for a more systematic approach to understanding the impact of string instrument accessories on tonal qualities. Recognizing the importance of selecting the right accessories, both music students and professional musicians have long been aware of their influence on instrument performance. However, a lack of consensus among musicians and instrument manufacturers on the best accessories for achieving specific tonal qualities has led to confusion and uncertainty in the world market.
The objectives of this project are to provide a comprehensive understanding of how different accessories affect tone colour and to offer practical recommendations for musicians and manufacturers to optimise the tonal qualities of their instruments. The research will aid musicians in selecting appropriate accessories based on their desired tonal qualities, guiding the use of specific rosins or bows for achieving brighter or warmer tones.
In addition to its impact on musicians and manufacturers, this research will also benefit music education and pedagogy. Teachers can utilise the findings to educate students about the influence of accessories on tone colour, enabling them to develop their preferences and enhance their understanding of the subject.
Overall, this capstone project seeks to fill the knowledge gap regarding the impact of string instrument accessories on tonal qualities. By offering practical recommendations and insights, it has the potential to improve the selection and utilisation of accessories, leading to enhanced musical performances and advancements in the field of instrument manufacturing.
