Materials Engineering of Violin Soundboards by Stradivari and Guarneri
Cheng-Kuan Su, Szu-Yu Chen, Jen-Hsuan Chung et al., 2021. Angewandte Chemie International Edition 60, 19144–19154.
Spectroscopic, microscopic and chemical study of Cremonese spruce soundboards. Finds ordinary spruce with unnatural elemental compositions and oxidation, consistent with borax, metal sulphates, salt, alum and potash or quicklime treatments, and altered cellulose in heavily treated Stradivari samples.
What it's used for here
