The amateur wind instrument maker
"First published in 1973, The Amateur Wind Instrument Maker has now been thoroughly revised by its author. This revised edition contains new sources of design and adds three more instruments to the impressive number of construction possibilities...The alto krumhorn has been redesigned, and Robinson adds a new reamer design and expands his earlier comments about reed making. This revised edition contains an essential, updated appendix listing dealers of materials and tools used in the construction of instruments, and another updated listing of museums displaying early instruments." -- Back cover
