Validación de parámetros para la clasificación acústica-organológica del timple
Validation of parameters for the acoustic-organological classification of the timple

Summary/Abstract: The timple is a small traditional cordophone originary from the Canarian archipelago (one of the outermost regions of the Kingdom of Spain). Because of its morphology, it is similar tothe ukulele or the guitarro, but differs with them in that the back of the timple is curved. This research work addresses the study of timple from two perspectives: organological and acoustic. In order to carry out the study, instruments provided by La Casa – Museo del Timple located in the Municipality of Teguise on the island of Lanzarote (Canary Islands) were analyzed. In order to structure the analysis of the present research a cataloguing system to classify groups of timples isproposed and validated. In it, different aspects are taken into consideration such as the functionality or the acoustic response of each group for its definition.
