Divided into two days, the workshop is intended to be a focal point of both national and
international coordination for the research of new technologies applied to musical instruments. Over
fifty years since the first radiograph of musical instruments, new investigation techniques have been
developed and improved as the necessary first step to the knowledge, appreciation and preservation
of organologic and musical instruments’ heritage
Sessions:
1. Oral Session: diagnostics and preventive conservation
2. Poster session: scientific contributions
3. Demo Session: silicon moulds, woodworm treatments: ZER02 Disinfestation of Anoxic, digital X-Radiography
4. Presentation of diagnostic instrumentation from companies and research institutes
