Abstract

Silla Great Bell was manufactured in order to ring for the new millennium in succession to King Seongdeok Divine Bell. This study investigates how Silla Great Bell is similar to King Seongdeok Divine Bell in respect of structure and sound. First, design and manufacturing processes are introduced and dimensions of the two bells are compared and the similarity is estimated. Three main characteristics of the sound of a Korean bell are magnificent and harmonic striking sound, dynamic beat, and long lasting hum tone. These three features are compared and objectively estimated using physical parameters. The purpose of the study is to provide useful information to manufacture Korean bell which has beautiful appearance and excellent sound.

신라대종은 성덕대왕신종을 계승하여 새 천년을 울리기 위해 제작되었다. 본 연구에서는 신라대종이 구조와 음향 측면에서 성덕대왕신종과 어떻게 유사한지를 조사하였다. 먼저 설계 및 제작 과정을 소개하고 두 종의 크기를 비 교하여 유사성을 평가하였다. 한국 종소리의 세 가지 주요 특성은 웅장하고 조화로운 타격음, 역동적인 맥놀이와 길게 지속되는 여음이다. 이 세 가지 특성을 물리적 인자를 사용하여 객관적으로 평가한다. 이를 통하여 수려한 외관과 웅장 하고 아름다운 소리를 내는 대형 한국 범종의 제작에 유용한 자료를 제공하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다.
