In The Musical Instrument Desk Reference, Michael Pagliaro, musical
instrument authority extraordinaire, provides the one-stop shop for
those in need of a quick, visually-rich reference guide to band and
orchestral instruments. Descriptions and illustrations of
everything from the physics of sound to detailed discussions of
each orchestra and band instrument make this work the ideal desktop
reference tool for the working musician. Through its Quick Start
and In Depth features, readers can quickly decide how deeply they
want to delve into the instrument at hand. Following a contemporary
format designed to facilitate what any musician or music instructor
needs to know, The Musical Instrument Desk Reference eliminates the
need to leaf through multiple method books or trawl through
websites to find information. The Musical Instrument Desk Reference
includes general information on fingering, the anatomy of musical
instruments, sound production, amplification, and control, as well
as the science of sound. Readers will find individual chapters on
woodwinds, brass instruments, non-fretted string instruments, and
percussion instruments. In each category, Pagliaro delves deeper,
describing for woodwinds such things as tuning, key systems,
fingerings, sound production, tone holes, assembly, materials,
embouchures, and reed use; for brass instruments such matters as
valve systems, fingering patterns, French horn types, mouthpiece
selection, and intonation; for non-fretted string instruments such
issues as tuning and fingering, playing position, bowing technique,
instrument parts, and materials; and for percussion instruments
such elements as instrument types and their classifications, tuning
procedures, and accessories. The Musical Instrument Desk Reference
is the perfect guide for anyone interested in or responsible for
working with varieties of instruments and their players. Teachers,
students, teachers in training, music instructors, instrument
technicians, and musicians can quickly locate any specific detail
related to any band or orchestral instrument.
