Abstract

In this paper, the manufacturing technologies of violins, followed by a study on the psycho-acoustic evaluation of violins with different anatomic structure of wood are presented. The evaluation was performed by music experts (performers, teachers, students) based on music auditions of excerpts recorded on the violins studied. The musical performance was performed by the same violinist, under the same conditions. Respondents rated five acoustic criteria. The statistic results showed that age, experience, gender influence the acoustic perception and also that the geometric characteristics of the violins produce different acoustic impressions.
