Review: Great and informative - Finally a great book on the subject! He goes straight to the point and doesn’t ramble about politics or any other distractions.
Review: Wow! - If you are truly interested in Music Theory - start here. I had only a year of physics in college and do find the book a stiff read. It is 400+ pages. I've perhaps spend 10 hours with it so far and am on page 70! But it is worth the effort, IMHO/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An explanation of string and wind instruments using physics expressed by mathematics.
*by G***K on January 13, 2019*

Musical instruments are not a creative accident but conform to the laws of physics expressed by ancient mathematics. I especially appreciate that Pythagoras got it right and mathematically described "good sounding" sounds as ratios of small whole numbers. That is, 2:1, 3:2, 4:5 etc. We associate these ratios with C to C', C to G, and C to E. If you shorten a string in half (2:1), you get a perfect octave. Thus, the placement of frets in a guitar is no accident. They follow the observations that Pythagoras made centuries ago. If you open the thumb valve of a saxophone, you change the resonant frequency from a singe opening to a double opening making it sing an octave higher. This book explains why an orchestra of wind and strings can make beautiful music together.
