[pianotech] best resources math/physics of piano

[Zoe Sandell]

Thanks David

I re-read my email- and yes I definitely used equivocal language- I meant
the math/physics of both.... 

I will look into the book you suggested- and perhaps do some general studies
of related math/physics that I can then apply 

Regards
Zoe

Hi Zoe,

Your request is ambiguous: are you looking for books on math/physics of 
construction, and math/physics of regulation/repair?  Or books on 
regulation/repair and on math/physics of construction?

Anyway, after all this subtle semantical sophistry, I don't know any! 
Wolfenden's "A Treatise On The Art Of Pianoforte Construction", 
perhaps.  But textbooks of the math/physics of regulation/repair would 
be a niche market indeed!

Repair and regulation books tend to be about the how-to, rather than the 
math.  As I am sure you already knew. So, fat lot of use I am!

Best regards,

David Boyce
