Chapon ingeniero muy bueno he basado la mitad de mi tfg en este libro.

[Ronald Lett · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a physics/mathematics major who also plays stringed instruments, this was a fasinating eye-opener to the complicated physics of real-world instruments, their construction, and tuning theory. Amazing amounts of information that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

Νομίζω είναι αδύνατο να βρεις κάποιο βιβλίο που να μην έχει δανειστεί όχι απλά μερικά στοιχεία, αλλά ολόκληρα γραφήματα, τύπους, ακόμα και κεφάλαια από αυτό. Είναι τελικά η βίβλος της ακουστικής των μουσικών οργάνων.
