This book and its accompanying CD are devoted to makers of musical instruments. Gathered here, in text and photos and sound, you will find instruments and music from some of the most imaginative, inventive and ingenious people working in recent years in the field of creative musical instrument design.This is actually one of two such collections. Its companion, 'Gravikords, Whirlies and Pyrophones', featured a cast of artisan-musicians of wildly differing persuasions - makers of winds, strings, percussion, electronic instruments and other less-categorizable types, playing music as varied as their instruments, all of it fresh in concept and fresh in sound.
