I'm a big history fan, so I was looking forward to reading about the history of music, but this turned out to be quite boring. Maybe if it was longer and was able to go more in depth it would be better. It pretty much just features a short snippet of facts, such as this artist was known for (blank)...moving on.

A very informative book about musical instruments. Especially about reeds for certain wind instruments.
