The comparison of acoustic properties of guitars from the same product line
Trávníčková, Hana ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This work is dealing with acoustic features of Furch guitars. In theoretical introduction is possible to find an information about basic characteristics of a tone. Following chapter about acoustic guitars is dealing even with mostly used types of woods for their manufacturing. In special chapter are described spectres of signals, LPC analysis, sound radiation of instruments and Chladni figures. Mentioned terms have been evaluated from measurements and are available in practical part of this work also including description of implementation of the measurement. As an output of this work is a comparison of acoustic features of measured guitars, their colours and modes.

The Analysis of impedance properties of the bridge in string instruments
Němec, Petr ; Nop, Patrik (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
It is a known fact that stringed instruments bridge makes an important part of "acoustic circuit" of their bodies. Bridge acts as an acoustic filter which has the biggest impact on 2 – 6 kHz band and high frequency bands. To find the connection between the impact of a specific acoustic and mechanical properties of a bridge and acoustical behavior of the entire instrument remains as a matter of further exploration. Aim of this thesis is to find the mentioned relations of a chosen materials in an accordance to their mechanical properties within a full range of materials with common bridge properties. The experiments are designed to determine mechanical and acoustic properties of chosen materials which are then used to fabricate bridges. Subsequently the acoustical behavior of instruments with chosen bridges is determined. Based upon these findings we propose specific solutions and suggest further research.

The dreadnought rib guitar innovation
Hoffman, Pavel ; Nop, Patrik (referee) ; Jirásek, Ondřej (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the spectrum analysis, frequency characteristics, Chladni figures and simulation of modal and harmonic analysis of an acoustic guitar in ANSYS program interface. In the acoustic guitar analysis, various details that can influence the instrument spectrum are discussed. Especially on its performance over time, the number of generated harmonic components and their performance. Then the guitar bracing innovation of the dreadnought guitar was created from the measured, simulated and calculated data. Four acoustic guitars with the innovation were then made. These innovated instruments were further analyzed and compared with the acoustic guitar before the innovation and with a competitor’s guitar. Furthermore, the thesis describes parts of an acoustic guitar, wood properties, theoretical background and measurement methods.
