There is a nice chapter on plucked-string synthesis in this book I
bought years ago: "The Elements of Computer Music", by F. Richard Moore.
[Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-252552-6]

Lots of theory and math, and C code. The book has a large appendix on
cmusic. I'll have to see if the Hal Chamberlan book has anything...
