Musical Instruments of the World by Diagram Group Staff
Newly reissued, this is the best-looking and most informative musical encyclopedia ever. Using a totally visual approach, it's the ultimate reference guide with over 4,000 detailed drawings, showcasing the evolution of instruments as well as music from the first primitive whistle to an electronic guitar complete with fuzz box and wahwah pedal. Every piece has been exquisitely drawn, with painstaking detail and attention to structure, function, and decoration. Instruments from every musical genre are here on display -- orchestral, popular, classical, ancient, and folk -- and are classified by the way their sound is produced. Cross-reference the classification with material on geographical distribution and historical periods for a fuller understanding of the genealogy. Personalities fundamental to the development of musical instruments, such as Rudolph Wurlitzer, Adolphe Sax, Benjamin Franklin, and Louis Armstrong, along with many others, are featured. 40 researchers, writers, and illustrators, in cooperation with over 200 scholars from 20 different countries, combined to create this definitive guide to instruments around the world. Handsomely illustrated and chock-full of fascinating information -- there's no more thorough and compelling volume anywhere. One of the nicest things about Musical Instruments of the World, a new encyclopedia by the Diagram Group, is that you don't have to be a musician to love it. It is a browser's delight . -- The New York Times This is an exquisite and comprehensive work of great reference and classroom value . -- Music Library Association
