Book description
The authors introduce readers to make-it-yourself musical instruments. There is an amazing wealth of information here, covering not only how-to's and history but also extending into the social sciences and even science. We learn that pigeon flutes (crafted gourds attached to the birds' tails) were first mentioned about A.D. 1041 A.D. and that drummers are highly respected in India. Actual instructions on gourd transformations into spike fiddles, water drums, and even xylophones are included, along with a few photographs. But all the erudition tends to drown out the craft aspect, since instructions are sandwiched within the narrative text, and photographs are less than optimal. Nonetheless, a book that patient crafters will appreciate. Barbara Jacobs Historically, ethnic groups in many countries have used a great number of musical instruments made from gourds. In North America these instruments are used mainly by percussionists. Most of the step-by-step projects in this book by gourd artists Summit and Widess (The Complete Book of Gourd Craft) are for percussion or stringed instruments such as the Latin American guiro (gourd scraper) or the spike fiddle. There are also a few from the wind family, such as the fipple flute. These are legitimate musical instruments made from traditional materials, and they are fully playable as well as being beautifully crafted. Highly recommended for general crafts as well as ethnomusicology collections.

Book description
In the 1530s, five brothers from the Bassano family, outstanding wind players and instrument makers, emigrated from Venice to England. This is a study of these brothers, their sons and daughter and their grandsons. The first half of the book discusses the everyday affairs of the family - their relationships, religion, property, law suits, finances and standing in society. Two chapters are devoted to Emilia Bassano, whose identification as the "dark lady" of Shakespeare's sonnets is supported by a wealth of evidence. The second half of the book discusses the family's musical activities. At the English court, the Bassanos founded a recorder consort that lasted 90 years; they also played in the flute/cornett and shawn/sackbutt consorts. As instrument makers their fame extended throughout Europe. The book's appendices present information on the Venetian branch of the family and the musical activities of the English branch since 1665.

Book description
With these two volumes, the publisher launches its promising "Musical Instrument" series, in which noted scholars/ performers discuss instruments in light of the newest research. Forthcoming titles will cover the piano, the clarinet, the cello, the violin, and the trumpet. Montagu has played timpani and percussion professionally for more than 50 years and oversaw the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments at Oxford, and Powell is a noted solo flautist and president of Folkers & Powell, Makers of Historical Flutes, in Hudson, NY. Each has written an informative and authoritative guide for those with previous background in these instruments and a serious desire to understand their place in history. Taking a chronological approach, the authors trace the instruments from earliest known records and discuss the changes in construction, social context, and repertory, as well as notable performers and makers. Montagu's appendixes include information about playing techniques and the construction of percussion instruments, and Powell's reference section contains extremely valuable coverage of past and current scholarship on flutes. In addition to being well written, the books are sturdy and beautifully illustrated. Highly recommended for academic libraries, public libraries where an interest in music is strong, and upper-level music students generally. Timothy J.

Book description
Ardal Powell, a leading authority on and maker of early flutes, offers here a translation and study of J. G. Tromlitz's tutor for the eight-keyed flute, first published in German in 1800. Powell explores the instrument's history and assesses Tromlitz's importance as a designer. The volume contains information vital to the historically informed performance of classical and Romantic music. `If no other praise were due, the mere fact of his translating these books would have indebted the general, and specifically the English-speaking readers to Ardal Powell...More, and even higher praise is merited by the fact that Mr Powell placed this text in its historical context and perspective...The translation of Tromlitz's text makes fluent and comfortable reading. It does not feel as a translation. No mean feat!...Ardal Powell suceeds eminently in establishing Tromlitz, with Johann Joachim Quantz before and Theobald Boehm after him as the pioneering maker, teacher and theoretician he undoubtedly was. providing the flute world with a book that puts the development of the flute from 1800 to this day in a better and more consequential perspective.

Book description
Peter Tomlin gives a remarkably complete introduction to woodwind instrument making using very basic tools. After some introductory material he walks the student through making a Transverse Flute, a Clarinet, an Oboe and a Bassoon. New operations are described as they are needed and there are many clear dimensioned drawings. The text is terse and the reader is expected to think things through, but there are few gaps. An excellent little book (70 pages) and almost completely unknown outside the U.K. Someone should reprint it.
