Acoustics


The subject of acoustics is a fascinating one and reveals an enormous
and complex element in the
violin making process.
It is my intention in this section to present a practical hands on approach
to the acoustic challenges which the violin maker must faces in the
workshop.
It is essential to research the acoustic theory which supports
the analysis to follow, and there are many independent websites
which do a superb job in this respect. Below are just a few which I
recommend highly .
