Design of Digital Piano
Sikora, Halina ; Sládek, Josef (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the design of a digital piano. This increasingly popular musical instrument offers possibilities not available in an acoustic piano (outputting sound into headphones, utilizing sample libraries, recording, use of sheet music in digital form and more). From technical standpoint, it attempts to closely mimic the qualities of traditional instruments, both in its tactile feedback and sound quality. The aim of this work was to design a solution which would starkly differentiate from the very conservative classical design without being overly extravagant. The main focus is therefore on aspects of visual appearance, with emphasis on ergonomics, and an outline of the technical solution.

Establishment of database of musical instruments recordings
Lavický, Vojtěch ; Mácha, Tomáš (referee) ; Rášo, Ondřej (advisor)
In this Bachelor thesis you can find created database of musical instruments. Recordings are descripted by it's waveforms and sectrograms. It may serve for example for removing noise from signal. A general data of instruments are descripted here. Human earing and his perception of sound is discuss here. There are also included parameters of sound itself and theory of calculations. Frequency and dynamic range are written to every instrument in database. These are consequently range by its size. As a part of the thesis is program with graphical user interface. The program include all the recordings from database and is open to any other recordings.

Electric Violin
Domorád, Petr ; Bělohlávek, Jan (referee) ; Zdařil, Zdeněk (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the design of the new design of electric violins. The aim of the work is to break away from the stereotypes and traditional forms of baroque acoustic violins, which are in the design of electric violins often occur . Electric Violin therefore become a kind of substitute for classical violin , this may include a specific instrument , which allows to experiment with violin tones considerably richer . The new design of the shape electric violin should be ergonomically correct for easy violin , but interesting , new and unusual . When designing and manufacturing must be some part of classical violin left ( eg the shape of the neck or fingerboard ) . These parts may slightly vary because each said portion has a specific role to play violin . Proposal for violin based on the basic ergonomic features violin. From classical violin are left only parts which are to preserve functionality may change shape. Three into the protruding part of the body support a comfortable grip of instrument and mechanics, which is located at its ends , allows adjustability holding of instrument by violinist characters . Violin comply with rotational symmetry , which is an advantage , since the instrument can be used right-handed and left-handed. The proposal addresses the fact that the various components do not interfere with the violin ( eg potentiometers for volume and tone controls or instrument input cable for connecting the instrument to the apparatus ) . As these details when control may not see a violinist , but is usually controlled through hearing , are placed in the bottom of the hull of the violin , where playing the violin will not mind a useless way. The material used for the prototype of a violin is wood (possible combinations of various different types of wood for a better visual effect and to promote the curves of the body tools), which, after milling the surface treatment and paint several layers of lacquer . Components for attaching strings and adjustable drives are made of metal. Electronics, which is mounted inside the cavity of the tool body is bought, the additional component.

Materials for Production of Chords for Musical Instruments
Krhut, Štěpán ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Molliková, Eva (advisor)
My bachelor’s work is about materials used for making the musical strings and its protection against its wear off. The introduction deals with evolution and history of the musical strings and the next chapters explain physical basics of the vibrations and how to make the musical string. There are also highlighted and many times mentioned guitar strings in my work due to the string manufacturers are made to develop and implement various high level demands into the strings because of the many various guitar playing techniques.
