It covers a wide variety of instrument types. and while it is very practically oriented it also explains some of the underlying acoustics.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Awesome starting pointBy GermanicoThis book is full of the "whys" if you happen to be thinking in tinkering with musical instrument building. At least that was my case anyways. Because although I am somewhat knowledgeable in terms of acoustics physics this goes from there and describes how the design affects the resulting sound with perfect teaching skills. I wish I could have that sense of value when teaching... not too technical and difficult but without leaving aside any important piece of information regarding the subject. From then on one can go and find more specific and technical sources if needed. But again. this is an excellent starting point for any person interested in experimenting with instrument making.14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Practical information for practically everyoneBy Charles FloadingIf what you want to do is make a guitar or violin from scratch. there are better books than this one. However. if you want to understand how and why musical instruments of all kinds are built the way they are. this book has you covered. Theres information on instruments that are percussive. stringed (both plucked and bowed). and blown into. Most useful are the tips on how to get these things tuned in such a way that they are useful for making music.Check out the "windworld" web site for some examples of the experimental instruments Hopkin has created.The book contains information on building materials (with tips on where to get them). music and sound theory. and some history when relevant to an instrument he is trying to emulate. Its certainly not exhaustive. but gives you just enough to get your creativity flowing. I would have liked to see more illustrations and or photographs showing the assembly of some of these instruments. but thats not to say that the book isnt already full of illustrations. I just want more.One other thing to note is that this isnt a book about making toys for kids. No pie plate tambourines here. This is 175 pages of serious information and ideas. a bargain at this price.
