Very nice hard cover book with loads of information and illustrations about many instruments from around the world. Of course it doesn't cover ALL of them, but it does include a whole lot of them. I'm an amateur musician and found this book to be a fascinating read. This would be a great gift for a musician or just someone who loves music. I bought it used at a very good price. The book was shipped in mint condition with no rips, tears or markings. Shipping was a little slow but it was shipped overseas so I knew it would take a little while. Well worth the wait. Good job!

This is a must-have for anyone who has played and enjoyed a musical instrument, or anyone who just loves music and is curious about the evolution of all kinds of musical instruments, all over the world. Unbelievable photography is what makes this book so special. It's hard to imagine how this book could have been put together. I have donated a copy to the local coffee shop, for everyone to marvel at.

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.

I loved this book - it helped with studying for the world music portion of the the National Boards in music. I also found it good for my music class as it is very detailed and shows instruments that I really did not know myself.
