AMIS is pleased to announce that Darcy Kuronen is the recipient of the Curt Sachs Award for 2023.

The Nicholas Bessaraboff Prize is awarded annually for the best book-length publication in English that furthers the goals of the Society. The prize committee has made two awards for 2023, for two equally distinguished, but very different, contributions to organology: Murray Campbell, Joël Gilbert, and Arnold Myers for The Science of Brass Instruments (Cham, Switzerland: Springer Nature, 2021); and Robert Adelson for Erard: A Passion for the Piano (New York: Oxford University Press, 2021).

The 2023 Frances Densmore Prize is awarded to Jennifer Kyker for "Music under the Ground: Ethnomusicological Research on the Ground-Bow in Africa," Ethnomusicology 65, no. 2 (2021).

This year's winners of the Selch Prize are Dominik Ukolov and Francis Lapointe. The research projects of the two scholars represent very different and very valuable approaches to organology: one a historical deep dive through the archives and one an experimental approach to digitization both of which further the goals of AMIS
