Abstract
DIFFICULT as the violin may be to play, there are many who play to one who experiments upon it scientifically; and, scarce as the experimentalist may be, the successful theorist is yet scarcer. But we have now before us the first part of an elaborate investigation in which mathematical theory and confirmatory experiments happily alternate. Important and interesting results have already been reached, and others equally so are likely to follow, thus clearing up a number of points which have hitherto been obscure.
