This far-reaching and absorbing book is designed to help identify
and value woodwind instruments made in Europe and the United States
during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Drawing upon the
author's many years of research in the field, the book includes a
brief history of European woodwind instruments made during the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; biographies of important
makers; a glossary of terms that will be a welcome help for the
novice; a list of key systems; resources for obtaining further
information from books, museums, societies, and online; and most
importantly, information and nearly 300 images taken from over 20
trade catalogs printed between 1880 and 1930 in Europe and the
United States. Featured among these is a complete translation of
William Heckel's rare, circa 1930 catalog. This comprehensive
volume is an outstanding resource for beginning and advanced
collectors of musical instruments as well as for museum curators.
