NYT article

November 30, 2006 at 1:41 AM

There is a fascinating article in the New York Times about the research and experimentation going on in the science of the acoustics of a violin. It is an interactive media, so I had a hard time getting a true URL or link. If you go to the Arts section/music, it should come up.

"Simulating the Masters"

Very interesting, and containing a lot of the subject of the more intense debate-threads :).

If you look at the thread on this article, you will see a quote from a luthier friend to the effect that these violins are not ready for prime time.
