Musical Instruments presents the first comprehensive survey to
explain how Western musical instruments work, how they developed
historically, how they are manufactured, and how they are used to
make music. After introducing the nature of sounds in music, and
the sound production mechanisms of different families of
instruments, the authors survey each family in turn, giving a
description of the distinguishing acoustical features, the various
forms of instruments adopted in different periods, the variety of
sizes and shapes in current use, the manufacturing processes, and
the playing techniques commonly used by performers. The full index
and glossary also contain definitions of technical terms and notes
on instruments not included in the text, making this the essential
reference for everyone researching and working with musical
instruments and performance.
