S4689: The Physics of the Violin, Viola, and Cello in Spark! 2011 (Mar. 12, 2011)
The violin is perhaps one of the most beautiful instruments created. To the passive bystander, it may appear to be a physical black box out of which flows music enchanting to the ear. In this course, you will learn how the structure of a violin lends itself to its function as we connect the basic ideas of physical acoustics to the violin. When you walk away from this course, you will be able to see instruments from a scientific perspective, not so much as to override an instrument's romantic appeal, but perhaps to spawn greater curiosities into the intricacies of their construction.
