The Physics of Musical Sounds

C.A. Taylor

American Elsevier Publications, NY. 1965. First edition hardcover, thus. Some delamination of the edges of the dust jacket. Interior clean. Includes 7" of sounds to pair with readings. An excellent copy.

From the publisher:

"...is a classic, foundational text in musical acoustics. It bridges the gap between physics and music, explaining how instruments work, how we perceive sound, and how tone color (timbre) is created."

An important work for those seeking to better understand the relationships between the physical world and music. Thoroughly illustrated, and includes a 7" of sound experiments for your consumption. A great price on this rare work, from the estate of Bobby Shew (ABQ Jazz Legend).
