Improving the acoustic working conditions for musicians in small spaces
2002, Applied AcousticsCitation Excerpt :The broad and almost enthusiastic acceptance of the retrofit results in long existing environments by the musicians and their conductors have meanwhile encouraged their equally suffering colleagues in Duisburg, Flensburg, Rendsburg, Mainz and elsewhere to ask Fraunhofer IBP to also help them to improve their similar working conditions in rehearsal halls and orchestra pits. It thus seems no longer questionable that it is the low frequency end of the acoustics, long neglected awfully by acousticians, which is largely responsible for poor communication, difficult ensemble playing and, last but not least, increasing hearing loss in musicians [1] forced into always too small enclosures. How much the bass range may affect the quality of larger auditoria is, of course, quite another topic.
