Abstract

The amplification of sounds of guitar multiphonics had not been explored until now. We recorded and spectrally analyzed this kind of sounds of unusual colours, to investigate the influence of amplification with close microphone placement on the audibility of their weaker main components. The results show that novelty is introduced for the majority of the sounds investigated, because some of their main components are otherwise not audible in a concert room, regardless of its size.
