From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carleen Maley Hutchins (born May 24, 1911) is a violin maker and researcher (and former grade-school science teacher) known for her creation, in the 1950s and 1960s, of a family of eight proportionally-sized violins now known as the violin octet (see, e.g., the vertical viola) and for a considerable body of research into the acoustics of violins. She was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1963, Hutchins co-founded the Catgut Acoustical Society, which develops scientific insights into the construction of new and conventional instruments of the violin family.
