Classical guitar with and without resonator: Comparative analysis of dyinamic characteristics

The study presents the comparative analysis of dynamic characteristics of different models of classical guitar and the guitar without the resonator. The whole guitar sound range was recorded for each analyzed guitar. All tones were played piano and forte separately. Four different types of microphones were used: measuring microphone IVIE serial IE-45, AKG C 414, AKG C 451, Neumann U 87. Microphones were placed in three different positions. The first position is in front of the 12^th step on the guitar neck. The second position is directly in front of the guitar neck. The third position is in front of the guitar bridge. The research has been done to achieve the simple goal of finding main differences of the classical guitars and the guitar without the resonator dynamic characteristics.
