Woodwind Instruments: A Practical Guide for Technicians

The  care and understanding of an instrument are critical to its sound. This  thorough book is therefore aimed at both the interested musician and  those embarking on instrument repair as a full-time career. Organized  into six parts, it guides the reader from initial diagnostic techniques  all the way through to specialist repair instruction. It is packed with  over 700 colour illustrations, step-by-step guidance and general advice.  It covers clarinets, flutes, saxophones, oboes and bassoons. Written by  a leading woodwind technician and teacher, it should be an essential  companion in every workshop and be a handy reference for all musicians  who want the best from their instruments.
