Abstract:
Wooden musical instruments are objects that require careful construction and maintenance and are subject to wear. The possibility of having diagnostic techniques available is useful for their restoration. In this work, the use of optical techniques for the diagnostics of an early 1900s violin is tested. In particular, the results obtained with shearography, thermography and 3D scanning will be shown and discussed.
