This book delves into the science of wood selection and treatment for optimal suitability in the musical instrument industry. Wood stands out as a prized material for musical instrument construction due to its exceptional acoustic properties. This book explores the intricate link between wood characteristics and sound quality, emphasizing the importance of precise measurements to achieve desired tonal variations. Wood's inherent ability to resonate and amplify vibrations makes it ideal for crafting instruments. The density, elasticity, sound velocity, damping capacity, and other measurable properties significantly influence the instrument's tonal character. This book highlights the crucial role of measuring and optimizing specific wood parameters to achieve the desired tonal range. While various wood types offer distinct sonic qualities, not all possess the necessary acoustic properties for instrument making. While factors like wood variety, aesthetic appeal, and durability are also important for instrument selection, this book focuses primarily on the acoustic behavior of wood and its influence on sound production. Wood's acoustic characteristics, such as density and sound velocity, determine the instrument's resonance frequency and overall tonal response. Despite advancements in materials science, artificial materials haven't fully replicated wood's unique acoustic properties. Consequently, wood remains the preferred choice for crafting high-quality musical instruments. Given the scarcity of suitable wood resources, this book explores methods for identifying and enhancing the acoustic properties of more readily available wood types through targeted treatments. This book also envisions the potential development of artificial materials that mimic wood's measurable acoustic properties, offering new possibilities for instrument construction. This book is specifically tailored for luthiers in the stringed instrument industry. It focuses on acoustic wood science and excludes instrument assembly processes, providing valuable insights for luthiers seeking to craft instruments with exceptional tonal qualities.
Mehran Roohnia is Professor at the Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch, Iran, specializing in Wood Science with a focus on acoustics. He concurrently holds a directorate position at Darkoob-NDT, a knowledge-based startup. Having immigrated to Türkiye, he is now affiliated with the Handcraft Arts Association, Konya, Türkiye. Roohnia's research interests encompass acoustics and vibration, nondestructive testing, timber engineering, tree risk assessment, and solid mechanics. He completed his own Ph.D. thesis, at Islamic Azad University but vısıted the University of Montpellier II, LMGC, for his experiments under the guidance of his French advisor, focusing on the acoustic properties of wood for musical instruments and he has supervised many postgraduate theses in these areas. Roohnia's publications since 2010 include contributions to JCR-indexed journals, international conferences, and a book chapter published by Elsevier, alongside original research papers in Persian scientific journals.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
