"The New Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments" includes: Unprecedented coverage of Western musical instruments--from early European instruments, to the development of the organ and the violin, and continuing into the twentieth century with computers and synthesizers -- 6,000 articles on non-western developing-world and folk instruments -- Detailed catalogs of the world's private and public instrument collections, a survey of forgery, and a study of restoration and maintenance techniques -- Articles on performance practice and technique--such as tuning, ornamentation, fingering and improvisation -- Biographies of instrument makers--from the Greek inventor Ctesibius to the violin makers of Italy to today's manufacturing giants.
