Synopsis
Why is your wind instrument out of tune? Why is perfection in instrument manufacture still and elusive goal? What are the immutable laws of physics that conflict with one another to cause problems? Check out this important document that helped to spark the resurgence of interest in wind instrument acoustics and tuning problems in the 1950's and 60's. A widely quoted book that has inspired numerous articles in music journals, and generated studies by dissertations in University Departments of higher education. It combines experimental evidence with acoustical research from the Library of Congress, tempered by empiricdal opinion. Extensive studies were conducted with the skilled musicins of the famous United States Nvy Band in Washington, D.C. A rather unique work, written in plain language without the use of baffling higher mathematics. The basic laws and principles of physics are unchangeable and remain limiting factors in the quest for perfection in the co! nstruction of wind instruments. A third reprint of the original Ph.D. Dissertation first published by the Catholic University of America in Wash. D.C.
