Bio-composite materials suitable for replacing wood for use in musical instruments were developed.

Based on the material characterization, a hand layup process with a two-part closed mould and internal pressure bladder was developed and a total of si

Abstract:
This thesis deals with the study of performer-instrument interaction during the performance of novel digital musical instruments (DMIs). Unlike acoustic instruments, digital musical instruments have no coupling between the sound generation system and the physical interface with which the performer interacts. As a result of this, such instruments also lack the direct physical feedback to the performer which is present in an acoustic instrument. In fact in contrast to acoustic musical instruments, haptic and vibrotactile feedback is generally not present in a DMI contributing to a poor feel for

Despite the increasing sophistication of digital musical instruments, many performers, composer and listeners remain captivated by traditional acoustic instruments.

In this thesis we present a technique, travelling wave control, which allows active control of the vibrations of musical strings and yet has been little explored in the musical instrument lit

Having lost the world's gift of physical properties, the digital instrument builder becomes more than a mere luthier.
