Cello, bridge, vibrations, deformationsAbstract
It is proposed to study the frequency response of a French-type cello bridge using laboratory testing and computational models. Using the computational model of the bridge, the response of the vibration response due to the mass provided by the sensors is analysed. The results obtained from the measurements are compared with the numerical models.The vibration modes and deformations related to the density of the material, the shape of the bridge, the tension of the strings and the anchoring to the cello top are studied.
