The audibility of longitudinal components in fortissimo piano tones is investigated with formal listening tests. The results imply that the longitudinal components are audible up to the note C5 (523 Hz), but the subjects considered the phenomenon to be subtle above the note A3 (220 Hz). |

Perception of inharmonicity in the classical acoustic guitar was studied using very realistic test tones obtained by the ZFARMA modeling technique. Trained guitarists participated in the experiment. |

This paper reports listening experiments exploring the perception of vibrato, giving guidelines for the control of vibrato parameters in string instrument synthesis. |
| H. Järveläinen , V. Välimäki, and M. Karjalainen, "," Acoustics Research Letters Online 2(3), p. 79-84, 2001. | This paper describes listening tests that studied the perceptibility of inharmonicity in string instrument sounds. Perception thresholds were measured at four fundamental frequencies for generic synthetic string instrument -like sounds. |
