Bibliographic information
| Biographical note | Acoustician, Fellow of the ASA, and Director of Research for the C.G. Conn Instrument Company in Elkhart, Indiana who pioneered many developments in the Conn line of musical instruments, particularly winds and pianos. Kent was editor of the Benchmark series Vol.9, "Musical Acoustics, Piano and Wind Instruments." He became much interested in the new violin family (Violin Octet) and proposed a collaboration (1965) between the CAS and Conn for Conn to make the new instruments with CMH as consultant. This did not work out for a variety of reasons, mostly related to the take-over and fragmentation of Conn. Earle was most helpful to CMH, broadening the scope of her activities in acoustics and sponsoring her for membership in the ASA. A most cordial and productive relationship was maintained over the more than 30 years. |
