Perceptual evaluation of clarinet sounds in the context of instrument making

Résumé

This study describes the construction and results of a listening test in which clarinet sounds were evaluated according to several qualities represented by adjectives. Six adjectives were selected as the most shared among several interviews with expert musicians and makers. The sounds were recorded specifically for the study and selected, cut into short excerpts, and presented to the participants. Only certain sounds can be set apart as exhibiting consensus on certain adjectives. One sound in particular is evaluated very homogeneously, which seems to be linked to its frequency content. A PCA showed redundancies between adjectives. Of the six adjectives chosen, bright and clear, as well as warm and round, are very close. It seems that sounds can be assessed on two scales: bright -warm and nasal -sweet. The search for an objective indicator for these adjectives, using the MIR toolbox, was unsuccessful.
