Call For Papers--Musical Instruments

The American Musical Instrument Society invites proposals for
presentations at its twenty-sixth annual meeting, to be held at the
Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, May 15-18, 1997.  The
overall theme of the conference will be "Musical Instrument Studies:
Perspectives from a Quarter-Century of the AMIS"; however, the
Program Committee welcomes proposals for papers.
Lecture-demonstrations, or panel discussions on a broad range of
topics relating to the history, design, and use of musical
instruments in all cultures and from all periods.  Individual
presentations should be limited to 20 minutes in length.  Please
send three copies of a typed abstract, not to exceed 250 words in
length, accompanied by a short biography of 75 words or less and a
list of any required audiovisual equipment, by October 1, 1996, to
Cynthia Adams Hoover, NMAH 4127, MRC 616, Smithsonian Institution,
Washington, DC  20560.

The 1997 CIMCIM meetings are scheduled for May 11-14 and will
immediately precede the AMIS sessions.  A call for papers will be
announced soon.
