Seminar June 3, 2022: Sam Zygmuntowicz, Strad3D Revisited

In September 2006, Oberlin Acoustics staff brought three great Cremonese violins to an acoustics lab for the first-ever 3D laser vibration scans of Cremonese violins, plus CT Scans and acoustic analysis, and photos, measurements, and music performance. The revived project is again accessible, free on the web at www.strad3d.org. We’ll explore the contents, and I’ll consider my personal perspectives and directions. 0:00 Welcome 5:45 Norman Pickering 9:06 Oliver Rodgers 10:37 Gluey 12:06 George Bissinger 13:48 Strad3D Tour 18:55 3D Scanner 24:00 Dr Bissinger's articles (VIOCADEAS) 27:30 Sam's articles 35:00 Photos, Documentation, Sound Recordings, Spectra 37:58 Modal Analysis 51:06 Sam's latest Strad article on copying 1:04:00 Current studies 1:05:51 Strad vs Zyg Titian 1:10:25 Comparing two models (Titians vs. Kreutzers) 1:13:08 Soundpost East-West Experiment 1:20:08 Spreadsheet 1:24:20 Wood properties vs. Subjective characteristics 1:29:35 Visualizing multiple spectra 1:36:10 Q&A 1:36:39 Joe Curtin 1:43:00 Claudia
