@inproceedings { , title = {Potential for estimating the age of instruments by characterisation of wood properties via acoustics.}, abstract = {The performance of musical instruments is sensitive to several wood properties that are affected by aging. These wood properties also change with temperature and humidity in ways that interact with (and change as a result of) aging processes. This offers possibilities for estimating the age of instruments by the characterisation of wood properties through acoustic assessment.}, conference = {WoodMusiCK (FP1302) conference ‘multidisciplinary approach to wooden musical instrument identification’}, note = {Conference dates: September 30-October 1 2014 School: forpro}, organization = {Cremona, Italy}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/8224}, keyword = {694 Wood construction & carpentry, MT Musical instruction and study, Musical wood instruments, wood properties, acoustics, aging process;}, year = {2024}, author = {Ridley-Ellis, Daniel and Popescu, Carmen-Mihaela} }
