Engineering the Guitar
Theory and Practice
This clearly written book uniquely describes the mechanics of the guitar for engineers and craftsmen alike. Complete with informative illustrations, this popular musical volume describes the underlying mechanical concepts behind the guitar, supported by theory and test. Readers will gain an understanding of the dynamic behavior of the instrument, including structural and component dynamics, and various analytical models, such as discrete, finite element, and boundary element models. Manufacturing processes are also covered, including both hand made and mass produced instruments, in addition to an analysis of sound quality and a detailed description of guitar electronics. Students, engineering and physics researchers interested in mechanics, acoustics, and instrument making will find the mechanical concepts described in this book easily accessible in this highly informative reference.
