文摘

Traditionally the material of construction of many musical instruments has been limited to wood. The unique mechanical and acoustic properties of wood make it the material of choice for making musical instruments. In recent years, wood for musical instruments is depleting, becoming more expensive and is of less acceptability due to environmental changes. This has resulted in most musical instrument builders searching for alternative materials to traditional musical instruments. This paper presents an important overview of recent research and developments and presents an initiative focusing on fibre reinforced composites as an alternative material for stringed instruments. Fibre composites are emerging as a competitive alternative material. Composite instruments has potential advantages for players concerned with functionality, sound, choreography and cost.
