NEW SUONO VIVO PLATFORMS FOR ENDPIN INSTRUMENTS
Double-Basses and Cellos

Going on the path of innovation, always looking for the finest materials to provide new useful products and technologies for Symphony Orchestras in the field of concerts activity, Suono Vivo surprises realizing SPECIAL ACOUSTICAL PLATFORMS for endpin instruments: double-basses and cellos.

This innovative product meets specific requirements of the musicians and Orchestra Conductors, always very attentive to the varied intense nuances and peculiarities that the performance entails, in relation to the acoustical setting where it comes to life.

With the purpose of creating a dense and dilated, trenchant and defined sound volume, in addition to which normally emitted by such musical instruments, Suono Vivo creates a Special Acoustical Platform that meets all the comfort criteria (beginning from the musician posture), using beech wooden essence or MDF soundboards, overlapped and well cohesive, just to realize the ideal support to allow the proper desired "amplified" emission-transmission of vibrations, from the instrument to the ground and return, through its endpin placed on this surprising Acoustical Platform.

A wooden soundboard which excellently reacts to the vibrations transmitted from the endpin; the board places on its proper supporting legs to devise the appropriate space for additional sound volume resonance and it is limited on its sides by little shelves that do not close tightly but, on the contrary, leave the possibility to the resonance thus generated to naturally flow.

The trapezoidal, very compact shape also facilitates the correct insertion and placement of these platforms on stage which are very versatile in relation to the surrounding available space, contrary to the usual and often not very flexible platforms in certain logistical conditions: in this way, the position of the relative adjacent sections of the orchestra is considerably facilitated without sacrificing both the typical sound enhancement, which is essential in case of such instruments, in low – and properly short - frequencies, and consequently a better balance overall sound in the orchestra.

The ensemble of these beech wooden or MDF soundboards, thanks also to the possibility to be easily jointed together, permits to create a single large "alive" soundboard of the low frequencies, just like the Suono Vivo Acoustical Shells.

Currently, the new Suono Vivo Platforms are regularly utilized by numerous Orchestras and famous Soloists, obtaining huge appreciations everywhere.

A NEW FUNDAMENTAL PLUS TO BRING OUT THE BEST CHARACTERISTICS OF SUONO VIVO ACOUSTICAL SHELLS: FOR A REAL SOUND.

 

Suono Vivo Acoustical Platforms for endpin instruments

The Suono Vivo Acoustical Platforms for endpin instruments are special platforms that enhance the sound emission and the quality of double-basses and cellos sound while increasing their performance. Their use allows the musicians a better control of their own sound and the entire orchestra too gains a better overall sound-balance. The Suono Vivo Acoustical Platforms for endpin instruments are designed and realized on rigorous Acoustic principles and have evolved through numerous refinements and successive development, which have led to the current efficient project design.

Wood essences used in the realization of Suono Vivo Acoustical Platforms

Beech

The Suono Vivo Acoustical Platform consists of a beech plywood soundboard having the effective capacity of generating the sound emanated from the vibration through the instrument itself endpin and, at the same time, to transfer the musical frequencies to the underlying volume of air, to connect with the outside through asymmetric and calibrated special holes. The complex physical / acoustical relationships between the platform surface, its wood essence thickness, the different heights of its support legs, the trapezoidal shape of the Platform, its front and side holes as well as the back opening, determine a fine resonance phenomenon that significantly amplifies the instrument sound. The sound emission thus produced results strengthened and powerful, burnished defined and incisive, extremely present.
From the point of view of their use and handling, the Suono Vivo Acoustical Platforms have limited and calculated dimensions that efficiently facilitate their placement on the (orchestra) stage and their storage together with the instruments: they are realized with high quality materials and components that ensure their durability and easily deal with the continuous "professional" use which they are dedicated to.

MDF (Medium Density Fiber)

The Suono Vivo Acoustical Platform for endpin instruments is also available in MDF soundboard version. While the technical geometries are the same ones tested on beech Acoustical Platform, the MDF soundboard gives sound emission a great brightness and clarity, the sound so resulting is more trenchant.
This good effect returns the sound with the highest purity.
