Abstract

The evolution of musical instrument manufacturing has prompted a quest for innovative materials beyond traditional wood. This review explores the utilization of composite materials, 3D-printed materials, and metamaterials as favorable alternatives. The investigation is driven by challenges such as the scarcity of high-quality tonewoods, variations in wood properties, and environmental concerns. Carbon fiber, graphite fiber, ceramic polymers, and nanocomposites present promising alternatives, offering advantages in durability, weight reduction, and customizable acoustics. The integration of 3D printing technology introduces a cutting-edge dimension, enabling intricate, precisely engineered components, optimizing instrument structure, and allowing unprecedented customization. Additionally, this article explores metamaterials, leveraging unique mechanical properties from structural design rather than constituent materials. Metamaterials offer unprecedented capabilities for tailoring instrument vibrational characteristics by providing unparalleled control over sound production. The review provides a thorough analysis, including manufacturing methods for composite materials, metamaterials, and 3D printing in musical instruments. Comprehensive examinations of vibrational and acoustical analyses related to composite materials, 3D-printed materials, and metamaterials, for the evaluation of musical instruments, are presented. This overview, supported by experimental and numerical simulation methods, offers valuable insights for the future development of musical instruments.
