Abstract
Over the past years research has been conducted to understand how sound radiates from musical instruments. This has been done by recording a sphere of 2664 data points around a player through the process of many repetitions. This sphere is called the instrument’s directivity This data can be input into room modeling software to predict how an instrument will sound in any given location even before it is built. However there is the legitimate question of whether or not there this new data will change how room model sounds, and if someone listening would care. This research was an attempt to answer this question. It had two parts, a program designed to help train listeners how to critically evaluate sound signals, and an evaluation of the room model.
