| Zusammenfassung | To pianists, preference for the grand piano over the upright piano is evident. Quality differences are ascribed not only to the sound but also to the mechanical behaviour of the action. The comparison of all acoustical and vibrational relevant parts reveals a lot of functional differences of the two piano models. Therefore various measurements were done to document the different properties, e.g. the sound field due to the different radiation position of the soundboards was investigated using modal analysis software. The aim of these investigations is to find the quality relevant parameters for the piano in general which may lead to improvements by better understanding the contribution of individual parts to sound quality. |
