Verification of the presence or absence of pitch and volume changes due to acoustic bridges

Abstract

Recently, more and more wind instrument players are using accessories for their instruments. Instrumental accessories are custom parts that are attached to the instrument and are said to change the sound. Although many wind instrument players have experienced the benefits of these accessories, there are not many papers that physically demonstrate the sound changes. In this study, an acoustic bridge, one of the accessories, was used to investigate whether there were significant differences in pitch and volume when the acoustic bridge was worn and when it was not worn.
