From tubas to theremins... a complete reference for musicians and music lovers
Comprehensive, authoritative, and stunningly illustrated, The Billboard Illustrated Musical Instruments Handbook is the only up-to-the-minute guide to musical instruments on the market today. Every music student and composer, every family and music store, every school and home needs this accessible book, packed with more than 400 pictures and information on a vast array of instruments. Instruments are organized by type—percussion, wind, brass, stringed, keyboards, electric and electronic, innovations and inspirations—and also include historical context. Each entry describes the personality, history, and sound of the instrument, whether it’s a violin or a steel drum, an accordion or an Ondes-Martenot. Don’t settle for a piano when a piece really cries out for a Peruvian trumpet! Find the right instrument for every score with The Billboard Illustrated Musical Instruments Handbook.
