Reader Reviews
This review is from: Illustrated Encyclopedia of Musical Instruments (Hardcover)
A great gift for musicians and artists. Great overview book --- cool little painted illustrations of all the instruments --- they kind of look somewhere between photos and paintings -- it gives the whole book a nice consistent look. Professionals might think the tone/text content a little remedial (primarily on the 'contemporary' instruments like Electric Guitars/Synthesizers, etc. -- the text sounds a little corny to a pro "yeah, yeah, I know what a volume knob is and what a pick-up is...") -- but overall a great way to reference all the world's regions and cultures and their instruments. I gave one of these to a composer friend who does soundtracks for films/TV -- and he's used it several times to quickly zero in on an odd or unique instrument he'd may not have been able to research quite as easily.
