This book addresses core questions about the role of materials in general and of wood in particular in the construction of string instruments used in the modern symphony orchestra – violins, violas, cellos and basses. Further attention is given to materials for classical guitars, harps, harpsichords and pianos. While some of the approaches discussed are traditional, most of them depend upon new scientific approaches to the study of the structure of materials, such as for example wood cell structure, which is visible only using modern high resolution microscopic techniques. Many examples of modern and classical instruments are examined, together with the relevance of classical techniques for the treatment of wood. Composite materials, especially designed for soundboards could be a good substitute for some traditional wood species. The body and soundboard of the instrument are of major importance for their acoustical properties, but the study also examines traditional and new wood species used for items such as bows, the instrument neck, string pegs, etc. Wood species’ properties for musical instruments and growth origins of woods used by great makers such as Antonio Stradivari are examined and compared with more recently grown woods available to current makers. The role of varnish in the appearance and acoustics of the final instrument is also discussed, since it has often been proposed as a ‘secret ingredient’ used by great makers. Aspects related to strings are commented.As well as discussing these subjects, with many illustrations from classical and contemporary instruments, the book gives attention to conservation and restoration of old instruments and the physical results of these techniques. There is also discussion of the current value of old instruments both for modern performances and as works of art having great monetary value.The book will be of interest and value to researchers, advanced students, music historians, and contemporary string instrument makers. Musicians in general, particularly those playing string instruments, will also find its revelations fascinating. It will also attract the attention of those using wood for a variety of other purposes, for its use in musical instruments uncovers many of its fundamental features. Professor Neville H. FletcherAustralian National University, Canberra

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ...either antiquated or still in use, are known to be of Arabic origin. This is also evident from their names. No doubt, the Arabs, when they came to Europe, in the beginning of the eighth century, were more advanced in the cultivation of music, or at all events in the construction of musical instruments, than were the European nations. Thus only can their astounding musical influence be accounted for. Charlemagne, towards the end of the eighth century, most likely encouraged the introduction of the Moorish instruments into his empire. This enlightened monarch instituted schools for the cultivation of vocal music at Mete, Soissons, and St. Gallen; no doubt, he appreciated the superiority of the musical instruments which had become known to him from Spain. It has been often asserted by musical historians that the Crusaders introduced certain oriental musical instruments into Europe. Very likely they contributed in making the instruments still more popular; but, at the time of the Crusades, from about the end of the eleventh century to the end of the twelfth, the Arabic instruments, including the rebab, were no longer new in Europe, and the Crusaders saw only Arabic instruments with the Mohammedans. In fact, there is no known European instrument played with a bow which is older than the rebec. There are some old Slavonic fiddles which may have been derived direct from Central Asia--such as the Russian gudok, a rude sort of violoncello with three strings, still occasionally found among the Cossacks, and believed by them to be of very high antiquity. However, as the age of the gudok has not been definitely ascertained, the popular belief that it is the oldest fiddle in the world is of but little use for our investigation. The Russian name for...
