First steps

First effort to get something launched. Good so far…

This site is an experiment and a work in progress. The intention is to give a multi-level description of the science of musical instruments. The main thread of text is essentially an e-book, intended to be accessible to all readers. But there are many additional links giving optional technical and mathematical detail to those interested. The choice of material is idiosyncratic, based on things I happen to have been involved with over the years. The intention is to add topics progressively and eventually cover most of the subject, but inevitably there will be more detail in areas most familiar to me. This site works best on devices that support multiple tabs: the extra links open in new tabs, so that the reader need not lose their place in the main text.
