4.0 out of 5 stars Great introductory textbook for college students on acoustic, January 2, 1999
Dr. Backus is a professor of physics but also a pianist and has a deep appreciation of both the intricacies of physics and the relationship of physical phenomena to musical instruments. This is a superb text for college music majors or physics majors although the latter would be disappointed by the lack of equations and obvious attempts to suit the book to music majors. I am a semi professional musician and found that this text satisfied much of my perpetual inquisitiveness about acustical instruments and how they work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Product came as or better than advertised., December 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
After getting the book I was very pleased to find out that the book was as advertised and maybe even a little better. I arrived fast and I am very pleased with this seller. The book was also much cheaper than I found it elsewhere.
