@johnr , that is 'too cool for school'! Something very much to be proud about.
And thank you for supporting FOTMD as well... so kind of you!

How do you measure tone mathematically? It seems like such a subjective quality.
Congrats, John. I was able to locate a summary and your bio, but Taylor & Francis won't let me see the whole text. My library has a four-year delay for full-text articles of that particular journal. That's OK. I learned a little about you and can see from the summary that I really wouldn't understand the text anyway. I may request it through Interlibrary Loan just to add to the dulcimer library.

Everyone - this is a thank you, a brag, and announcement of a mountain dulcimer picture in a place you wouldn't expect - Mathematics Magazine. After reading and watching many of you on this site, I was inspired to investigate an aspect of the vibrating string partial differential equation. Thanks! This resulted in a paper "What I Heard from the P.D.E." which has just been published - Mathematics Magazine, Vol. 98, No. 1, February 2025. In the introduction, there's a picture of my dulcimers. Most college libraries have subscriptions to Mathematics Magazine.
