Pełen opis produktu 'Manual of Musical Instrument Conservation' »
This is the first book to combine museum-based conservation
techniques with practical instructions on the maintenance, repair,
adjustment, and tuning of virtually every type of historical
musical instrument. As one of the world's leading museum-based
conservators of musical instruments, Stewart Pollens gives
practical advice on the handling, storage, display, and use of
historic musical instruments in museums and other settings, and
provides technical information on such wide-ranging subjects as
acoustics, cleaning, climate control, corrosion, disinfestation,
conservation ethics, historic stringing practice, measurement and
historic metrology, retouching, tuning historic temperaments,
varnish, and writing treatment reports. There are informative
essays on the conservation of each of the major musical instrument
groups, the treatment of paper, textiles, wood, and metal, as well
as historic techniques of wood and metalworking as they apply to
musical instrument making and repair. This is a practical guide
that includes equations, formulas, tables, and step-by-step
instructions.
