Why CT Works for Instruments
Ancient instruments often contain internal chambers, hidden repairs, or delicate components. CT imaging reveals internal structure, wood density, and construction techniques. It can detect cracks, filler, or replaced parts.
Detecting Hidden Modifications
CT exposes density differences caused by modern repairs or added materials.
Preserving Acoustic Integrity
CT allows study without altering fragile instruments.
A New Tool for Music Archaeology
Researchers increasingly use CT to study historical instruments.
