Description
The Sound Post in the Violin By John E. McLennan A sound post is fitted in several different bowed instruments, including the violin family and the viols. It's a separate spruce dowel with its grain running along its length that fits snugly between the top and back of the instrument, below but not directly beneath the treble foot of the bridge. For over thirty years, John E. McLennan has been researching violin acoustics, seeking to understand the function of the sound post in maximizing the monopole action of the violin's body. His work aims to quantify the sound post's role and dispel the mystery surrounding it. This book presents six papers from 1996 to 2015 that explore why the violin is such an important instrument and how the sound post enhances its sound output. Discover how the sound post plays a critical role in shaping the violin's unique sound, and gain a deeper appreciation of this iconic instrument with this in-depth exploration.
