Musical instruments

Rolf Bader

pp. 157-284

Musical Acoustics started in modern times by Felix Savart (1791-1841) who is not only known for the Bio-Savart law of magneto-statics but also for being the first modern investigator of the violin. He was the first to introduce the idea of the sound post to change a violin from a dipole to a monopole source with much larger radiation in the low frequency range. Indeed to date the violin may be the instrument which has been investigated most often (Hutchings 1997).
