Keyboard instrument making
Are you interested in keyboard and string instruments? Would you be curious about how to design or build a musical instrument? Perhaps you’re interested in how we can describe sound using functions? Why does a guitar or a piano sound different? My research team is currently developing a prototype of a new keyboard instrument where the mechanism triggered by the keys can move, plucking the strings at different positions, thus altering the tone. Our research covers a wide range of topics: DIY projects, 3D printing, mathematics, physics calculations, design, modeling, and acoustic measurements. Since there are several aspects to our work, everyone can find activities that resonate with their interests.
