Workshop at the museum of Accademia
Nazionale di Santa Cecilia:
Measuring techniques applied to
historic brass instruments
This is a practical workshop
led by Arnold Myers and Eugenia Mitroulia (University of Edinburgh)
in which participants will learn how to measure the bore profile of
a brass instrument. It will be of value to museum staff and private
collectors who wish to make meaningful comparisons between different
kinds of brass instrument and to compare the acoustically
significant aspects of their own instruments with those in other
collections.
Some of the results and uses of these measuring techniques will be
presented in the Historic Brass Society - Session 1 on Friday 11th
September.
Measuring tools will be provided, but we will suggest to
participants some small generally-available tools they could bring.
The museum of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia has kindly offered to
make some brass isntruments available for measuring, but
participants are welcome to bring their own examples.
Please, note that booking for the workshop is now closed.
