Instruments Played in Skřipky „Fiddle“ Music Bands in the Light of Acoustic Measurements and Experimental Construction

Original language description

The ensemble of musical instruments played by “skřipky” (fiddle) music bands can be considered to be a closed development segment of our traditional folk culture. As a living element, it ceased to exist in the mid-20th century. Since that time it has been part of local folklorism as performed by two folk ensembles. We should by warned by the speed with which the musical instruments stopped being used as well as by the fact that during a very short period of three generations the knowledge about the construction of these unique musical instruments disappeared. This loss can be restored only elaborately with hindsight, and it will be irreplaceable in many cases. In our case, we can profit from the fact that the knowledge about playing the described instruments has been passed down by survivors and audio-visual technologies, and that several historical pieces, maintained in a playable state, have survived. Only in this way we can confront the newly made instruments and the original pieces visually and through acoustical measurements. The partial results of the first measurements presented above confirmed the correctness of the approach, and their applicability to this tangible segment of musical culture. The results also bring up impulses for the future development in the documentation of musical instruments within interdisciplinary projects.
