On one of Bowen Swerseys two trips to India, he picked up a tambora and sitar, two classical Indian instruments. Another time, he met some Japanese banjo players who taught him how to play the shakuhachi, a traditional Japanese flute. Later, he learned how to make a kora, a West African harp, with Gambian kora maker Sidi Susso, as well as a traditional Western-style harp. He picked up a melodious rain stick from Bali and bought a 1932 nickel plated C melody saxophone somewhere in America. He also learned how to make flutes, both Japanese and Chinese style, out of bamboo eventually making them to sell in America, under the name Dragonbone Flutes.
To be honest, I dont play several of the instruments in my collection, but most I can, said Swersey, a Southwest Harbor resident and longtime ...

PROVO -- William J. Strong, Brigham Young University emeritus professor of physics, was recently awarded the Rossing Prize in Acoustics Education from the Acoustical Society of America.
Strong received a doctoral degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1964. As a BYU professor, he studied the acoustics of musical instruments and the human voice, specializing in the behavior of vocal folds in the production of speech. His other teaching credentials include visiting professor appointments at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., and the IRCAM Institute in Paris.

'Design USA' features objects from a pivotal moment in American design, a renaissance in which designers expand beyond traditional boundaries, as witnessed by the explosion of digital technology, material innovations and inter-disciplinary collaborations," said Cara McCarty, curatorial director of the museum. "The exhibition celebrates the many ways these developments have impacted our lives and also forecasts design's great reach as we move through the next century.
"Design USA" begins with an exploration of innovation through craft, which has had a renewed importance in design during the last 10 years. The persistence of craft, attention to detail and exquisite production has influenced numerous designers, from the graceful manipulation of light in the architecture of Steven HoIl to...
