Analysis on the relations between piano touch and tone

TL;DR

This paper investigates how different piano touch techniques influence the resulting tone by analyzing the interaction between the hammer and string, focusing on key variables affecting sound quality.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of the hammer-string interaction and identifies key variables that link piano touch to tone production.

Findings

Different touch methods alter hammer-string interaction dynamics.

Key variables significantly influence tone quality.

The study offers insights for better piano playing techniques.

Abstract

In piano playing, different ways of touch lead to different tones. The effects of changing forces on keys are presented by changing interaction between hammer and string. The thesis focuses on several important variables in hammer-string system and draws conclusions to the question about piano touch and tone.
