Popis: We present a database of recordings and radiation patterns of individual notes for 41 modern and historical musical instruments, measured with a 32-channel spherical microphone array in anechoic conditions. In addition, directivities averaged in one-third octave bands have been calculated for each instrument, which are suitable for use in acoustic simulation and auralisation. The data are provided in SOFA format. Spatial upsampling of the directivities was performed based on spherical spline interpolation and converted to OpenDAFF and GLL format for use in room acoustic and electro-acoustic simulation software. For this purpose, a method is presented how these directivities can be referenced to a specific microphone position in order to achieve a physically correct auralisation without colouration. The data is available under the CC BY-SA 4.0 licence.
