The relatively low number of metallic elements (which cause electronic devices, such as hard beaming) does not generate image degradation, allowing the wall thickness to be accurately obtained, as well as possible cracks or fracture areas that have not involved the visible face of the instrument. The current possibilities for obtaining three-dimensional volumetric images, as well as the assignment of color maps based on density and the possibility of virtual navigation, without the slightest doubt that they can be of great help for the comprehensive assessment of said musical instruments. It is relevant to mention that, in both Germany and Austria, since 1988 there has been a project for the study of ancient instruments, through CT. It turned out to be a unique, fascinating and very enriching experience, where medical science with high technology meets art and history.]]></p></abstract>
