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.

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.

Playing Violin Use in Kindergarten
PETROVÁ, Petra
This bachelor's thesis deals with the playing the violin in kindergarten. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to create an offer of activities using a violin interpreted by a teacher for children in kindergarten. The proposed violin activities are intended to introduce and support children's interest in music and violin. The theoretical part is focused on the functions of music, the musical development of a preschool children and listening to music at this age. Then in this part is introduced the violin the violin as a musical instrument, methods of playing the violin and also same famous composers and violinists. The theoretical part is concluded with information abou kindergarten education, evaluation, the role of music and the use of playing an instrument in educational activities. The practical part is focused on the offer of activities with use of violin. There i salso described the course of activities and the evaluation of the aktivity. In the conclusion are contained recommendations for teachers who would decide to implement the offer. In the appendix are contained materials used in the implementation of activities.
