技术在乐器设计中的应用在许多层面上都有助于产生声音，特别是在代表我们文化传统乐器的新演变的背景下。在描述西方弦乐器时很少考虑材料技术，但我们对木材、金属和合成材料的选择可以在不改变乐器性能实质的情况下极大地改变声音。在模仿自然声学前辈特征的改良弦乐器的设计中，新技术在多个层面上得到应用。提出了仪器设计的过去、现在和未来的分类法。适当考虑新声音世界产生的音乐，特别是涉及交互式电子处理的音乐。在所提出的方案中评估了未来仪器设计方向的优点和缺点。建议使用电子设备进一步扩展大提琴上的一些扩展技术，并提供音频示例和描述。提出了作曲家、表演者和工程师之间未来合作的模型。
The applications of technology in instrument design contribute to the resulting sound on many levels, particularly in the context of new evolutions representing the traditional instruments of our culture. Materials technology is seldom given consideration in the description of Western string instruments, but our choices of woods, metals and synthetics can dramatically alter the sound without altering the substance of instrumental performance. In the design of modified string instruments which mimic features of natural acoustic predecessors, new technology is applied on many levels. A taxonomy is proposed for the past, present and future of instrument design. Due consideration is given to the music which results from the new sound world, especially that involving interactive electronic processing. The advantages and disadvantages of directions in instrument design for the future are evaluated within the proposed schema. Some extended techniques on the cello are proposed to be further extended with electronics, and audio examples and descriptions are provided. A model for future collaborations between composer, performer and engineer is proposed.
