Abstract :
The sound of a bassoon in a room can be convincingly synthesized
from a reed mouthpiece pressure measurement, if the transfer
function
between the reed and a room position is known. We present an
experimental setup which allows to measure such “reed-to-room”
transfer functions, with a bassoon fixed in playing position on stage
and a binaural microphone on a seat in a concert hall.
With measured mouthpiece pressure signals from a musician playing
the fixed bassoon on stage, the synthesis results from convolving
source signals with transfer functions can be compared to the
corresponding measurements.
We demonstrate results in the form of a listening test to investigate
the auditory quality of these auralizations.
