EMI Quarterly Journal
The Experimental Musical Instruments journal ran from 1985 through 1999, producing a total of 70 issues. In those issues we presented a huge number articles on all sorts of topics relating to musical instruments and instrument making.
The back issues of the journal are available for purchase in two forms: 1) a double CD-ROM, and 2) a print edition in 14 volumes, photocopied and paper bound.
The web pages listed below contain detailed, descriptive article-by-article listings of the contents of the journal. To explore the listings, click on one of links below for the different volumes.
