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.
Definitely value for money...It will be a great addition to any woodwind teacher's, band director's, repair student's, and professional repairers bookcase. -- Dot Brodie, Namir * Namir *
it is an excellent reference for a broad understanding of the woodwind family of instruments. For those wishing to embark on a career as a woodwind technician, or as Bangham calls them, a repairer, reading it from start to finish would provide a crucial breadth of knowledge from which to start one’s journey. -- Ande Jacobson, agoodreedreview * agoodreedreview *
It is a fantastic resource for woodwind educators, performers, novice technicians, advanced technicians, and everyone in between. -- Miles DeCastro, International Clarinet Association's "The Clarinet" * International Clarinet Association's "The Clarinet" *
This is a wonderfully presented book full of photographs and diagrams. I enjoyed reading this book and consider this to be a more than worthy addition to your arsenal and library. -- Saxontheweb.net * Saxontheweb.net *
