ISMA 2014 has brought together the world’s researchers on musical acoustics in areas
including instruments physical modelling, experimental techniques for sound or
instruments characterisation, analysis and synthesis of sounds, human perception. Two
original workshops have been proposed on instrument making : practical methods of
instrument building presented by ITEMM (Institut Technologique Européen des Métiers de
la Musique) have engendered the meeting between instrument construction and acoustic
research. At the Cité de la Musique in Paris have been workshops that combine the
history of patrimonial instruments, instrument construction, musical performance, and
acoustical science.Two events, a scientific concert by the musicians of Ophonius and a
