The VSA-Oberlin Acoustics Workshop is a five-day intensive Summer workshop for violinmakers, co-sponsored by the CAS Forum. Talks, demonstrations, and hands-on experiments provide an introduction to the field, an overview of current research, and numerous strategies for incorporating scientific method into workshop practice so as to produce better-sounding instruments. In most recent years, the Acoustics Workshop has met concurrently with the Setup Workshop, to foster dialog between the two groups.
Co-directors Fan Tao and Joseph Curtin are joined by some of the foremost researchers in the field, including George Bissinger, Norman Pickering, Oliver Rodgers, Robert Schumacher, and James Woodhouse.
