Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for improving the sound of acoustic musical instruments by suppressing energy storage effects resulting in undesired interferences and distorted sounds. This is done by specifically directing the sound energy (kinetic disposal) away from parts not directly required for generating sound before the sound energy can influence the desired, primary sound event of the musical instrument. In a second aspect, the lowest energy level for generating sound, and thus the optimal initial state of all instrument parts required for creating the primary sound event, is restored as quickly as possible by means of said kinetic disposal. The kinetic disposal is obtained by arranging at least one crystalline member (1) that has a sound velocity of more than 8000 m/s in the solid, on a part (5) located in the passive zone of the musical instrument.
