Experimental String Instruments Associated with the Evolution of the Violin
Knížková, Anna ; Kubátová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Gregor, Vít (referee)
The bachelor thesis "Experimental String Instruments Associated with Violin Development" deals with experimental directions in the field of string instrument development. The thesis focuses primarily on the violin and describes its historical development as well as subsequent experiments with the violin that resulted from the desire to improve an existing musical instrument or to invent something revolutionary. Most of the instruments belong to the extensive collection of musical instruments of the Czech Museum of Music, which is kept in the depository in Litoměřice. Several instruments are exhibited in the Czech Museum of Music in Prague. I talked about this with the violin maker František Špidlen and the curator of the Czech Museum of Music Jan Kříženecký. Since the experimentation is very closely related to the development of the violin, no detailed work on the experiments has been published, and the depository is inaccessible to the public, I found this work very useful. Nowadays, it is still possible to find several violin makers who try to make small changes and experiments in order to improve the sound quality of violins, which proves that the topic is still relevant.
