The playing of wind instruments as well as singing is a big challenge for musicians in the current time. Making music together is only possible under efficacious hygienic precautions and with large distances between the instruments. Investigations at the Chair of Building Physics in cooperation with the Chair of Industrial Design show innovative possibilities to reduce the emission of potentially infectious breathing air when playing wind instruments and singing.

In cooperation with the philharmonic orchestra Thüringen Philharmonie Gotha - Eisenach the spread of breathing air when making music was visualized in front of the schlieren mirror.
