Effects of plucking force to fundamental frequency of sound and body vibration of sape

Sape is the popular traditional musical instruments in Sarawak, Malaysia. It was normally played to a form of ritualistic music to induce trance by the local indigenous people. The use of the sape has now become a social instrument to accompany dances and for entertainment. This paper investigated t...
