4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for brass history,
This review is from: Brass Instruments: Their History and Development (Dover Books on Music) (Paperback)
When I ordered this book I was expecting something that closely followed the form Baines had used in his Woodwind Instruments and Their History. This was not to be the case. Instead, it is a detailed history of the brass family from prehistoric time to the modern valved era. This is not quite as exhaustive of a book as I was looking for (something that dealt with modern valved brass). With all that said it is still a marvelous book and full of usefull information.

THE MUST-HAVE OF ITS FIELD,
By
This review is from: Brass Instruments: Their History and Development (Dover Books on Music) (Paperback)
Every field has its classic work, and this is it for brass instruments. Not definitive, because nothing could be, but the linch-pin of the library as far as brasswind instruments go.
