Classical guitar has an aging effect that can be expected to improve sound quality by playing. However, the mechanism of its effect has not been clarified. Therefore, we are conducting research to clarify the structure of classical guitars and the characteristics of their components, build numerical models based on them, and elucidate the mechanism of the aging effect by numerical analysis. Here, the vibration characteristics of the constituent wood of the guitar are experimentally identified in consideration of anisotropy. Furthermore, the effect of the moisture content of wood on the vibration characteristics will be investigated.
