Description

Pythagoras's cousin Octavius needs help with his out-of-tune music pipes. Why does Octavius' instrument sound bad, but Pythagoras' pipes play beautifully? The cousins compare the relationship between the longest and the shortest of Pythagoras' pipes to find the ideal musical ratio. Soon, cousins Reyna and Amara want their lyres fixed, too. Can the cousins tune their instruments so they can play together? The end of the book explains the history of the Pythagorean Ratio, with instructions for making water glass instruments. ~ Lisa
