It is characteristic for historic FLUTES and their replica that a variety of sound spectra occurs at each individual instrument. Moreover, the spectra can differ from tone to tone across the tonal compass. This causes an audible variability of timbre across the tone range, which is a determining feature of such instruments. This work analyses sound spectra characteristics of RECORDERS and one TRANSVERSE FLUTE built according to historical designs of the Renaissance and Baroque era. ALTO REC...It is characteristic for historic FLUTES and their replica that a variety of sound spectra occurs at each individual instrument. Moreover, the spectra can differ from tone to tone across the tonal compass. This causes an audible variability of timbre across the tone range, which is a determining feature of such instruments. This work analyses sound spectra characteristics of RECORDERS and one TRANSVERSE FLUTE built according to historical designs of the Renaissance and Baroque era. ALTO RECORDERS generate five types of spectra: 1) with a dominating fundamental, 2) with relatively weak even harmonics (comparable to the sound of a chalumeau), 3) patterns with a weak second or 4) a weak fourth harmonic partial, 5) those being comparably rich in harmonic content. The TRANSVERSE FLUTE produces the aforementioned spectra plus a sixth type with a strong second harmonic. This classification of each tone is compared to calculated timbre parameters, which are meaningful for pipe organ ranks. Thus, the FLUTE spectra are complemented by two flute ranks, because pipe organ ranks are tonally refined until their timbre changes smoothly upon pitch, while the acoustical properties of FLUTES vary due to different fingering. Finally, common observations of both methods are discussed.» weiterlesen» einklappen
