Abstract: "The panorama of the construction of musical instruments shows scenarios characterized by elements of discontinuity. From a scientific point of view there are high-level studies. The world of construction and production sees the presence of artisan realities or high quality small companies but with modest interaction with the scientific world. The mass production of industrial products takes care of the automatic processing techniques rather than the fallout of these processes on the instrument. The present work intends to provide a research contribution that may be of interest for the different operational realities, placing at an intermediate level of analysis. The aim is to propose theoretical-experimental methodologies showing the operational feedback of specific approaches. Guaranteeing the methodological rigor in the deepening of some recurrent mechanical problems we propose approaches suitable by a wide range of users. Considering that it is impossible to synthesize all the mechanical problems of all musical instruments in a single book, attention is focused on some of them, also referring to theoretical-experimental experiences developed by the author in his activity at the University of Genoa"--Back cover.
