DESCRIPTION:
Acoustics of Wood reviews state-of-the-art measurement systems and includes material that has not been widely published. It presents a comprehensive account of the progress and current knowledge concerning wood acoustics, outlining the anatomy and physiology of wood and the specific applications in which its acoustic properties are relevant. Acoustics of Wood offers a detailed treatment of numerous topics that are valuable to those working with wood in architecture, engineering, acoustics, and the crafting of musical instruments. Divided into three main parts, the book describes environmental acoustics, presents acoustics methods for the characterization of the elastic behavior of wood, and discusses acoustic methods for the assessment of wood quality.
"Great book for first hand information about woods" according to josemfc. Great book for first hand information about woods.. StephenHC said Reader review. I have found this an excellent book for understanding some aspects of wood used in musical instrument making. It confirms many of the conclusions reached from practical experience. I just wish there was a little more that was relevant to instrument making.. "Sound of Nature" according to A Customer. As being a musical-instrument maker, this book has been very useful to me especially in material selection. Most of musicians must be familiar with the information covered in.
