Radiation patterns of loudspeakers and musical instruments have absolutely nothing in common. A picture says more than 1000 words, they say, so I have prepared an overview (Word file, for the time being in German) of patterns of different instruments, taken from literature I was able to locate. Feel free to drop me a mail off-board for a copy.
As Toole has found it's not so much the type of pattern that matters as how well the response curves behave. Good behaviour is not a question of money, but of good engineering. Geddes speakers are an example.
