Abstract :
Some milestones toward the development of virtual musical instruments are outlined. Beginning with early musical acoustics, key developments in the literature deemed most enabling for virtual acoustic instruments are traced up to the mid 1980s, with an emphasis on string models. Selected follow-on efforts are mentioned.
