Intonation
Deficiencies of Wind Instruments
by Donald W. Stauffer
Book Description:
Why is your wind instrument out of tune? Why is perfection in instrument
manufacture still and elusive goal? What are the immutable laws of physics
that conflict with one another to cause problems? Check out this important
document that helped to spark the resurgence of interest in wind instrument
acoustics and tuning problems in the 1950's and 60's. A widely quoted book
that has inspired numerous articles in music journals, and generated studies
by dissertations in University Departments of higher education. It combines
experimental evidence with acoustical research from the Library of Congress,
tempered by empiricdal opinion. Extensive studies were conducted with the
skilled musicins of the famous United States Nvy Band in Washington, D.C.
A rather unique work, written in plain language without the use of baffling
higher mathematics. The basic laws and principles of physics are unchangeable
and remain limiting factors in the quest for perfection in the co! nstruction
of wind instruments. A third reprint of the original Ph.D. Dissertation
first published by the Catholic University of America in Wash. D.C.

These are bagpipes. I understand
the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an
indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made sound
never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig.
