Potential for estimating the age of instruments by characterisation of wood properties via acoustics.
  The performance of musical instruments is sensitive to several wood properties that are affected by aging. These wood properties also change with temperature and humidity in ways that interact with (and change as a result of) aging processes. This offers possibilities for estimating the age of instruments by the characterisation of wood properties through acoustic assessment.
