Book description
In ihrem Buch stellen Ralph T. Dudgeon und Franz X. Streitweiser die Flügelhörner der Sammlung Streitwieser Kremsegg in detaillierten Einzelanalysen vor und beschreiben die Entwicklung dieser Instrumenten-Gattung von den frühen Formen über die Halbmond-Signalhörner, Klappenhörner, italienischen Flicorni und Clarinhörner bis hin zu den modernen Flügelhörnern. Dabei wird deutlich, wie sehr die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Flügelhorns mit der musikalischen Aufführungspraxis der jeweiligen Zeit verknüpft ist. Darüber hinaus gehen die Autoren auf die Ikonographie des Flügelhorns ein, beschreiben zugehöriges Material und auch Patente und geben einen Überblick über das gängige Repertoire des Instruments.

Book description
This book illustrates each stage in the manufacture of a natural trumpet, starting from flat brass sheet and following as closely as possible the methods, materials and tools of 17th and 18th century craftsmen; the metalworkers of Nürnberg, who worked with a basic technology that relied for its speed and efficiency on hand skill. Using their simple tools and techniques anybody can make a trumpet very much as they did. The text is profusely illustrated with colour photographs taken at one of the trumpet-making workshops which have been successfully run by Bob Barclay and Rick Seraphinoff over several years. Participants have included players, makers and repairers of modern instruments, historians and collectors. All have left with a real appreciation of the craft of the baroque trumpet maker, and have produced their own playable instrument, a copy of a trumpet made by Hanns Hainlein in Nürnberg in 1632. The descriptions cover the processes by which tubes are seamed and joined, bells are hammered to shape and then burnished on a mandrel, bows are filled with molten metal and bent, and decorations are engraved and punched.

Book description
"Highly recommended for its important, and unique, contribution to our better understanding of the natural trumpet itself and also for identifying many issues that require and merit further enquirya and investigation." "An essential book for makers which will also stimulate and enlighten players. It is very well worth reading from cover to cover, although readers will find themselves dipping into it again and again."

Book description
'The narrative is rich in detail, supported by an extensive glossary and bibliography. It is surely a book that will quickly find its way onto the bookshelves not only of the serious brass student, for whom it will become essential reading, but also of those readers with a more casual interest in the history and development of the instruments we play today.' Brass Band World 'This encyclopaedic volume is long overdue, providing some long-range retrospection now that the technical development of brass instruments is over ... this is essential reading for any serious player, conservatoire student or keen listener'. BBC Music Magazine 'This book is quite simply the most important on the subject since anthony Baines' classic Brass Instruments: their history and development appeared a generation ago ... infectious in its enthusiasm, comprehensible to a layman, and entirely absorbing.

Book description
Over the past few decades, the general design of wind instruments have remained virtually unchanged. To the average student, they look the same and they play the same, which prompts many to mistakenly conclude that they are manufactured in the same way. In actuality, the static nature of instrument design belies a dramatic revolution in manufacturing technologies. Faced with sharply rising labor costs, a shortage of skilled laborers, and an increasingly quality-conscious market, wind instrument, interested in meeting these demands have restructured their manufacturing operations over the past decade. Thus, while a player from twenty years ago would be at home with any new horn, an instrument maker from twenty years ago would be confounded new methods of production…
