Splinting for adaptation of musical instruments

WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation, 2005
Classic instrument design does not always match the physical capacity of the musician, as instruments are often chosen because of the pleasing sound and not the ease of play. Devices that are commercially available to create a more ergonomic structure may not address the specific needs of a musician with a chronic condition. Through basic splinting of

Adaptive Controllers as Virtual Instruments

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1994
Abstract A virtual instrument environment is an ideal paradigm for building prototype data acquisition and control system. It offers several conventional components of instruments to acquire data from plug-in boards and programmable instruments and then analyze the data, control the process and present the results through graphical interfaces. One of

Adaptive Musical Instruments

Abstract New adaptive music technologies are making participation in mainstream instrumental education a possibility for many students with disabilities for the first time. However, traditional organological classification systems focusing primarily on an instrument’s method of sound production do not adequately describe these ...

Adopting or Adapting Existing Instruments

2018
Cross-cultural translation is one of the major tasks in cross-cultural research. The task of translation becomes more challenging when an instrument is translated into two or more target languages simultaneously, especially with the translation of special constructs. This chapter (1) reviews existing cross-cultural translation approaches and offers the

Adaptive Engineering for Musical Instruments

Medical Problems of Performing Artists, 2005
Musicians who become disabled may not necessarily need to discontinue music making. This article provides 12 examples of musicians for whom musical instruments were modified to accommodate specific disabilities. Ingenuity, imagination, and flexibility can help individuals with disabilities overcome obstacles to continue music making.

Electronic musical instrument adapted to simulate a rubbed string instrument

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995
The electronic musical instrument, which is suitable for generating sustaining tone of a rubbed string instrument, has a manipulator for achieving performance manipulation in a linear manipulation region or in a plane manipulation region to simulate the motion of a bow of the rubbed string instrument, and a processing circuit for applying smoothing ...

Instrumentation adaptation for quantitative fluorescein angiograms

Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 2007
Abstract Purpose: To obtain quantitative fluorescein angiograms that are independent of instrument setup and operator influence. Methods: Sets of five standard fluorescein solutions were developed to mimic the environmental conditions of the plasma and vitreous compartments.
