Wine glasses as multiphonic instruments forced to sound like monophonic instruments

More about the book

The study explores the acoustic properties of different singing wine glasses, focusing on two excitation methods: finger-excitation and hit-excitation. Finger-excitation produces a clear monophonic sound, similar to that of monophonic instruments, while hit-excitation results in complex multiphonic sounds. The research provides insights into the unique sound characteristics generated by these traditional instruments, enhancing the understanding of their acoustic behavior.
