First-Friday Zoom Meetings
These Zoom meetings, held at 1 pm EST on the first Friday of most months, feature presentations by an international group of scientists and violinmakers. They address topics in acoustics and psychoacoustics related to designing, building, and evaluating violin-family instruments. Some talks are fairly technical; others are informal and practical. All are free and open to everyone. To receive notifications and Zoom invitations, please send a message to info@violinacoustics.org. Recordings of the presentations can be watched below.
