Abstract

BnBassoon BRIR binaural room impulse response CAD computer-aided design Cb Contrabass, double bass Cl Clarinet CMS Content management system Map of TokyoThe drawing of the map of Tokyo is intended to illustrate the locations of all performance venues examined. Only a selection of the map is shown to achieve a sufficient level of detail to illustrate the locations of the venues in question. The map was created on the basis of a source from the year 1941, (Tourist Industry Division, Ministry of Transportation 1941), provided to the author by Steve Sundberg, (OldTokyo.com). A number of the rooms displayed was destroyed in the 1923 earthquake and no longer existed at the time the source for this drawing was created. These rooms are nevertheless shown at the location where they would have been situated and indicated by underlining their names. For the three venues in Hibiya Park (the Hibiya Public Hall, the first bandstand, and the second bandstand), only the Hibiya Public Hall is shown, a detailed drawing of the Hibiya Park is given in Figure 3.24.
