This is a wonderful book that gives an introduction to a broad range of musical instruments to explore visually as well as auditorily. Throughout the book you will get an overview of most of the instruments in the orchestra. They may be alone or in small groups of two, three, four, or more. These are called duets, trios, quartets, and so on, depending on the number of players that are in the group. Taken all together, the instruments in this book compromise an orchestra. Readers will also appreciate all of the colorful photographs and illustrations with links to more than 100 musical samples in all! You can listen to every instrument plus the history of the instruments, star players, and instrumental families. This is the kind of book that would be of great value to all musicians and any other music lover who desires to increase their appreciation for and knowledge of musical instruments. 176 pgs, pb. ~Amber
