Useful Internet Articles

[Giovanni Corazzol]

This is an internet database I have found today:

The CAMEO - Conservation and Art Materials Encyclopedia Online

Its "Dye analysis" section covers many natural and synthetic dyes.

The "Materials database" contains "chemical, physical, visual, and analytical information on over 10,000 historic and contemporary materials used in the production and conservation of artistic, architectural, archaeological, and anthropological materials".

pretty corny stuff.

An interesting article  from Acoustics Today  - Supplementary Text Violin Acoustics

including simulation on  plate mode , rib coupling, shell modes, f-hole Helmholtz modes, sound post and base bar. See how the mode frequencies evolve with f-hole size, sound post off set....  , and how the modes evolve from nearly zero rib coupling to strong rib coupling.

A new acoustic varnish study that might interest some readers.

Thanks for the share

I'd appreciate if someone advised me some material about electric violins. I can't find a thing. Thought it would be even better to post a separate thread  

Upd. Guys, please tell me which of those is better for a novice. I've found some articles and reviews already

Good database.   Not perfect, but very useful.

Roger Hargrave's Library is loaded with goodies.

Thanks for the info Michel, you were always appreciative, but with luck and help from several maestronet members more will be on it's way soon.
