Other Instruments

One of the most interesting aspects of building virtual musical instruments is that every instrument has its own unique characteristics and modeling considerations. One disadvantage of this, however, is that it is not feasible to cover all cases in a single book. This section provides some literature pointers that can hopefully serve as a starting point for further research in some of the instrument areas not discussed here. While these pointers are neither complete nor up to date, the most recent papers and dissertations by the cited researchers can help fill in the gaps. (This is true of the preceding sections as well.)

• Singing Voice
• Flutes, Recorders, and Pipe Organs
