Dr. Bruce Daniels is a professor of physics at Pittsburg State University. His love for the violin and the beautiful music he performs led Dr. Daniels to use his instrument to teach a unit on how sound is produced and explores the issues of tone production.

His book Exploring the Violin Tone can be used effectively in the physics or music class as well as in the private music studio.
