The “Four Circles” of the Violin: The Body Equations
<p>In <a href="https://eu-u6.medium.com/the-four-circles-of-the-violin-generalising-the-system-576e64426537" rel="noopener">Part 1</a>, I introduced a qualitative generalisation of Kevin Kelly’s <a href="http://www.kellyviolins.com/design-page.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Four Circle system</a> of violin design. In this section, I will derive the general mathematical relationships that define the body of a violin.</p>
<p><strong>Terminology</strong></p>
<p>A note on the use of the word “body”. From hereon, I will use the term “body” to refer to the section of the soundboard <em>excluding</em> the corners. I will use “violin” to refer to the acoustic soundbox of the instrument, which includes both the body and corners. This is to avoid a confusing equivocation.</p>
