Jack Fry's work is great, book could have been better edited,

This review is from: Cremona Violins: A Physicist's Quest for Secrets of Stradivari (Hardcover)
This book's presentation of the excellent research on violins by Jack Fry was clear, but repetitive. A better editing job would have caught some spelling mistakes and the like. Nonetheless, I'm glad I bought it and read it because I think Dr. Fry's findings should be popularized, I enjoyed reading it, and I learned interesting things about the violin. Anyone interested in violins should enjoy the non-technical (i.e., no equations) presentation.

This review is from: Cremona Violins: A Physicist's Quest for Secrets of Stradivari (Hardcover)
A great source for understanding the power of the Cremona violins, but surprisingly also a very lucid account of scientific method and why it is not always about "reduction"! Very well written and fun to read!

A very well written and informative book.
Takes you into the thinking of a passionate physicist as he tries to decode the mysteries of the world's most celebrated instruments. Also wonderful historical account of the rescue of Cremona violins from the dustbin. |
