Carleen Maley Hutchins (May 24, 1911 – August 7, 2009) was an American former high school science teacher, violinmaker and researcher, best-known for her creation, in the 1950s/60s, of a family of eight proportionally-sized violins now known as the violin octet and for a considerable body of research into the acoustics of violins. She was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. Hutchins’s greatest innovation, still used by many violinmakers, was a technique known as free-plate tuning.

- Carleen Maley Hutchins (May 24, 1911 – August 7, 2009) was an American former high school science teacher, violinmaker and researcher, best-known for her creation, in the 1950s/60s, of a family of eight proportionally-sized violins now known as the violin octet and for a considerable body of research into the acoustics of violins. She was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. Hutchins’s greatest innovation, still used by many violinmakers, was a technique known as free-plate tuning. When not attached to a violin, the top and back are called free plates. Her technique gives makers a precise way to refine these plates before a violin is assembled. From 2002 to 2003, Hutchins’s octet was the subject of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Titled “The New Violin Family: Augmenting the String Section. ” Hutchins was the founder of the New Violin Family Association, creator-in-chief of the Violin Octet, author of more than 100 technical publications, editor of two volumes of collected papers in violin acoustics, four grants from the Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund for Music, recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, an Honorary Fellowship from the Acoustical Society of America, and four honorary doctorates. In 1963, Hutchins co-founded the Catgut Acoustical Society, which develops scientific insights into the construction of new and conventional instruments of the violin family. The Hutchins Consort, named after Hutchins, is a California ensemble featuring all eight instruments. In 1974, Hutchins and Daniel W. Haines, using materials supplied by the Hercules Materials Company, Inc. (Allegheny Ballistics Laboratory) of Cumberland, Maryland, developed a graphite-epoxy composite top that was determined to be a successful alternative to the traditional use of spruce for the violin belly.
- Carleen Hutchins amerikai hangszerkészítő. Korábban középiskolai tanár volt. Leginkább a hegedűk akusztikája területén végzett kutatásairól ismert, és arról, hogy az 1950-es, ‘60-as években megtervezett egy nyolctagú hegedűcsaládot, melyet ma hegedűoktettként ismernek. 1963-ban egyik alapítója volt a Catgut Acoustical Societynek, ami tudományos betekintést nyújt a hegedűcsaládba illő új hangszerek készítésébe. 2002–2003-ban Hutchins hegedűoktettje egy kiállítás tárgyát képezte a New York-i Metropolitan Museum of Artban. Hutchins alapította az Új Hegedűcsalád Szervezetet. Több mint 100 technikai témájú írást jelentetett meg, szerkesztője volt két tanulmánygyűjteménynek a hegedűakusztikáról. A róla elnevezett Hutchins Consort kaliforniai zenekar mind a nyolc hegedűt megszólaltatja.

Hutchins was vooral bekend vanwege de bouw van 8 evenredig grote violen, bekend als het "viooloctet", en voor haar onderzoek naar de akoestiek van violen. In 1963 was Hutchins mede-oprichter van de Catgut Acoustical Society om wetenschappelijk inzicht te verwerven in de bouw van nieuwe en oude vioolinstrumenten.
