In particular, it is the choice to develop high-performance products within the scope of musical instruments. In methodological terms, the co-design method is used to support the development of a component of a trumpet. The complex productive cycle of a component of a musical instrument can bring benefits both to the process and to the actors involved<br>- artisans, designers, musicians and small industries. With this research it is hoped to demonstrate that the responsible designer is able to move and guide experiences, profiting already existing processes in favor of new products. The creation of a bell for a trumpet oriented, both for the problems related to acoustic and musical performances, and for the innovative theme of creating a wind instrument in the field of metals, makes this research important to demonstrate new spheres of sustainable development that cover the areas of music and design.</p>}, number={1}, journal={DAT Journal}, author={Aparo, Ermanno and da Silva, Fernando Moreira and Soares, Liliana}, year={2017}, month={Oct.}, pages={116–133} }
