references found along the way to acoustic treatment knowledge

[Watchmaker]

Sometimes you find what you're looking for when you look for something else. As much as this is to share things I've run across in my research and aid the like-minded, it's also a way for me to keep track of them. Some are good, some are trying to be good, all have helped me sift. so thanks to SOS for letting me freeload.

As these sites have come from USA based searches, much of the content may be different from the rest of the world. I dunno. Take, add, whatevs. The bolded one surprised me.

Allow me to redirect that hat-tip to Dr Robjohns.

I can highly recommend Acoustics And The Performance Of Music [ISBN 9780387095165]. Great book, a good all-rounder on acoustics, and also has some fascinating graphs showing the radiation patterns of orchestral instruments.

[Drew Stephenson]

One to add to the christmas list - thank you!

[Hugh Robjohns]

It is a fascinating book, but the acoustics reference is more to do with the way venue acoustics are designed and optimised to enhance the performance of music, rather than suggesting places to stuff rockwool...

Now that I haven't seen before

I wrote a couple of articles about instrument radiation patterns back in the late 90s, using some of the information from that book, but presented in a much more user-friendly way... such as this one on brass and wind instruments:

I think I did another couple on pianos and strings instruments, but I can't find them on the site at the moment...

Time to re-wrap and republish that Hon. Dr. Hugh. Those graphics should be taught everywhere!

Thanks for the tip Korff...off to Amazon to purchase.

Wow - how could I have forgotten those images Hugh - bravo that man, and even more fascinating than expected!

Philip Newell is IMO of historic importance. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Recording-Stud ... 0240522400

BBC R&D publish all their work free. Seems to be impossible to buy this classic book but one can read it at least here. https://vdocuments.mx/bbc-engineering-g ... -1990.html

A rather better source for the Guide is the horses mouth:

Thanks Hugh, much better. Aunty has contributed so much to the world. I did try searching there several times and it just didn't come up.
Damn, just tried to edit my earlier post and it looks like that function expires.
So for emphasis.http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/archive/pdffiles/architectural-acoustics/bbc_guideacousticpractice.pdf

Here's one that cevers the basics very well.
