The new book series ANTIQUARIAN WRITINGS IN MUSIC ARCHAEOLOGY brings to light forgotten works of 19th and early 20th century authors in combining high-quality reprints with commentaries on the life and work of these early authors. The first volume celebrates the 150th anniversary of Carl Engel¿s groundbreaking work THE MUSIC OF THE MOST ANCIENT NATIONS (1864). Long before music archaeology and ethnomusicology became disciplines, Carl Engel (1818-1882) was the first scholar to undertake revolutionary research into our musical past, taking into account all sources available at the time. Like other 19th century scholars, he referred to archaeological finds of musical instruments, works of art ...

Chime stone manufacture focused on the timbre of the natural stone, as opposed to both materials and sounding based selection in later periods, which formed a part of making a perfect and delicate chime stone. In the earlier period the chime stone was only a musical instrument for producing rhythmic soun...
