Editorial Reviews
Review
"Essentially everything you have ever wanted to know about the physics of musical instruments" PHYSICS TODAY
"a rigor, graphical detail, and verbal description." AUDIO

Science, June 4, 1999
"No comprehensive quantitative analysis of music-making devices existed until Fletcher and Rossing published The Physics of Musical Instruments in 1990.... Now with the second edition, this impressive volume has been nicely revised and updated."
