With Yamaha coming out with a digital violin
and this last being updated at 1978,
before the invention of the Personal computer took hold, I have to say this book isn't doing most
people a lot of good. We , now, have digital simulations of concert halls, instruments and sound boxes.
Scientific American still seems "Mathematics Challenged" even when
the computers do the math when you just type it in!
The 1973 horn article by Arthur H. Benade seems the best to me,
but I loved the Chiladni violin pictures as well.
