More specifically, information on the acoustic theory behind the construction of the violin family. I know that research has been conducted on the subject and that there are a variety of theories and myths. A friend mentioned that Scientific American published something several years ago but I have been unable to locate a copy of it. Please reply directly to me and if anyone else is interested I will be glad to summarize. If this is the wrong forum (i.e. List) then I apologize and would gracefully accept being pointed in the right direction.
