Abstract
The goal of this study is to clarify the effects of timbre that is Kansei information, on right arm motions of bowing of violin playing, and image of timbre. Two professional violinists' were required to play D string with twenty-eight timbres, and their right arm motions, bow force and bow speed were measured. A questionnaire on the image of timbres was also performed. Right arm motion and image of timbre in same bow force and speed were analyzed. However, clear tendency was not found. Consequently, we concluded that timbre does not affect the motion but the playing parameters such as bow force and bow speed.
