acousticTerm describing a musical instrument played without electrical amplification or assistance, for example an acoustic guitar or acoustic piano. It is also a term used by musicians to characterize room response, an important factor in performance. A so-called ‘bright’ acoustic provides a lively reverberation while a ‘dry’ or ‘muddy’ acoustic is lacking in response; see acoustics. How to thank TFD for its existence?
