Wooden Musical Instruments Different Forms of Knowledge
Book of End of WoodMusICK COST Action FP1302
Présentation
Musical instrument are fundamental tools of human expression that reveal and reflect historical, technological, social, and cultural aspects of times and people. These three-dimensional, polymateric objects, at times considered artworks, other times technical objects, are the most powerful way to connect people and communities with the surrounding world and communicate emotions.
WoodMusICK (WOODen MUSical Instrument Conservation and Knowledge) FP1302 COST Action have aimed to combine forces and to foster research on wooden musical instruments in order to preserve, develop and disseminate knowledge on musical instruments in Europe through an inter- and transdisciplinary research. This four-year program, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), has involved a multi-disciplinary and multi-national research group composed by curators, conservators/restorers, wood, material and mechanical scientists, chemists, acousticians, organologists as well as instrument makers. The goal of the COST Action was to improve the knowledge and preservation of the wooden musical instruments heritage by increasing the interaction and synergy between different disciplines.
