The Influence of Different Medium on the Cello Tone/ Graduation Concert

東吳大學 / 音樂學系 / Author:Hsin-Han Chang

The factors that affect the timbre of the cello generally include the material of the instrument itself and the skill of the player. On the other hand, environmental factors and the medium used in the performance will also affect the cello. The commonly used media for the cello are anti-slip belts, amplifier, and anti-slip pads, Carpets, etc., these are the accessories that must be used to play the cello, and these accessories will affect the cello and bring different timbre effects. However, when selecting accessories, there is no basis for general players to know which accessory. The timbre effect is the best. At present, judging whether the timbre is good or bad is judged by the human ear. As a result, there are many subjective factors. Therefore, this paper analyzes the cello under different anti-slip belts based on objective experimental data. So that the difference between the various frequency spectrums measured by the spectrum analyzer can be used to explore the results of timbre and volume. The research method of this thesis is mainly to discuss the influence of different anti-slip bands on the tone and volume of the cello. The analysis method is to play the open strings of the four strings C, G, D, and A on the actual piano body, and analyze the non-slip bands of different materials with a spectrum analyzer from a scientific perspective. The changes in the intensity and volume of the overtone column are used to obtain the effect of the changes in the anti-slip bands of different materials on the tone and volume.
