dc.abstract.enThis study investigates the impact of top soundboard thickness on the modal parameters of violins. By analysing variations in plate thickness, the research explores how these changes influence modal frequencies, damping characteristics, and overall acoustic properties. Findings indicate that increased thickness results in lower modal frequencies and better damping, which may affect sound quality. The study references established research on violin acoustics and discusses the structural implications of varying plate thicknesses, particularly concerning the effects of string tension. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of violin construction and offer potential guidelines for optimising instrument design to achieve desired tonal qualities.
