Excerpt from Sound: An Elementary Text-Book for Schools and Colleges This book is intended primarily for students of Physics, but enough has been included of Helmholtz's Theory of Consonance to make it adequate also for students of Music. Those who Wish to limit themselves to the more purely physical parts of the subject may omit everything after 263, with the exception of 279 and 280. As the later chapters will have little interest for readers with no acquaintance with Music, it has not been thought necessary to define all the musical terms that are used. Chapter XVI includes many details of the construction and use of musical instruments that cannot be regarded as necessary to be known either by students of Physics or of Music. The greater part of the chapter is intended mainly for those who play in orchestras, and who wish to know some thing of the principles underlying the construction of their instruments. Certain sections of the book are marked with an asterisk to indicate that they are of a rather higher standard than the remaining sections. They can be omitted by readers who wish to acquire only an elementary know ledge of the subject, but in most cases the result reached should be known, even though the proof of that result is not read.
