Die virtuelle Geige der MIT-Ingenieure erzeugt realistische Klänge: „Basierend auf der Physik, wie das Instrument Klänge erzeugt, könnte das Modell Geigenbauern beim Designprozess helfen.“ »

It’s seems to me that there would be more „bang for buck“ starting with a less complex instrument. They mention the difficulty modelling bowed playing rather than pizzacato but the fact that a violin is made of wood I think is an even bigger factor.

I think it would be most fruitful to start with the brass instruments were there is much less randomness of the actual material. You’ll never find two bits of timber that are identical after the randomness of the life of the tree but you pretty much can get two bits of metal that are identical.
