MARL consists of the research materials from acousticians around the world who were dedicated to studying different aspects of violin making, which make up the Catgut Acoustical Society papers, and the archives of three prominent wind instrument acousticians, John Backus, John W. Coltman, and especially Arthur H. Benade. Benade’s work </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman , serif', serif; background-color: white;

Catgut Acoustical Society in 1984 and again in 1990 to CAS Journal, ending in 2004 when the Society merged with the Violin Society of America as the CAS Forum. </span></div><div class="yiv1656632121MsoNormal" style=""> The digital projects were funded by the Violin Society of America, CCRMA, the Stanford University Arts Institute, and the Stanford University Libraries.</div><pre>-- </pre><pre>Jerry McBride</pre><pre>Head Librarian</pre><pre>Music Library and Archive of Recorded Sound</pre><pre>Braun Music Center, Room 104</pre><pre>Stanford University</pre><pre>541 Lasuen Mall</pre><pre>Stanford, CA 94305-3076</pre><pre> </pre><pre>650-725-1146</pre><pre>650-384-9817 (mobile)</pre><pre>650-725-1145 (fax)</pre></div></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> <style><!--
