Why does the material of the body play an important role in stringed musical instruments, but not in wind instruments?

Body material is not very important for wind musical instruments. Unlike string instruments, in which the body vibrates when sounding, wind instruments sound a column of air enclosed in a pipe, and what this pipe is made of is not so important.

This has been known for a hundred years, and a quarter of a century ago, the American physicist John Coltman, in order to once again prove this truth, made a flute out of concrete. Musicologists who were blindfolded could not distinguish its sound from that of an ordinary wooden flute.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Prehistoric man was not a tramp 05.08.2008

The bones of an ancient man, found in a cave near Beijing, testify that shoes existed forty thousand years ago. Hard-soled shoes change the bones of the foot. The toes become shorter and straighter than those of people who constantly walk barefoot.

The foot bones of the ancient Chinese have been compared to the corresponding bones of modern Americans, the barefooted Indians of pre-Columbian South America, and the bones of prehistoric Eskimos, who always wore shoes because of the cold climate.

The comparison showed that the man whose skeleton was found in the cave used some kind of shoes - perhaps just planks attached to the foot with straps.
