Tone Production on the Stringed Instrument
Arnold McC. Small · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1940
The bowing factors involved in tone production and the means of their control have been studied and measured. This makes possible a more complete understanding of their control for artistic ends. Left-hand considerations in tone quality have also been analyzed. They likewise offer experimental bases for artistic and pedagogical procedure. The implications of these studies for the string player will be emphasized.
