Samenvatting:

This book contains a vintage guide to designing and constructing wooden pipe instruments. Profusely illustrated and written in simple, plain language, this guide is perfect for those with little previous experience and is highly recommended for modern readers with an interest in hand making instruments. Contents include: "The Story of Pipe-making", "How to Make a Treble Pipe", "Materials and Tools", "Tools", "Corks", "The Window and the Window-sill", "The Passage Roof", "The Cork", "Making the Holes", "The Treble Pipe", "A Pipe when it is Made", "Difficulties in Obtaining a Good Note", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with its original artwork and text.
