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 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 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.
