About the book

These well-illustrated essays range from biblical antiquity to the 21st century and address subjects appealing to collectors and curators, musicologists and musicians, and everyone desiring to grasp more fully the construction, characteristics, and functions of musical instruments. Empahsizing brass and woodwind topics which lie at the center of Herbert Heyde's work, this also covers string and keyboard instruments, classification and commerce, performance practices and iconography, and the motives of maker and collectors.
