On a winter’s night in 1951, shortly after Evensong, the interior of St Paul’s Cathedral echoed with gunfire.

This was no act of violence but a scientific demonstration of new techniques in acoustic measurement. It aimed to address a surprising question: could a building be a musical instrument? Pistols in St Paul’s tells the fascinating story of the scientists, architects and musicians who set out to answer this question.
