A Book Every Day


The ABC Book of Musical Instruments

ABC refers to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. This little gem is well worth a read if you happen to see it in a second hand bookstore. For something so small, it packs a heap of useful information. Some of the line-art drawings look stereotypical (especially the bongo player), however they are actually based on photos. Apparently people actually looked like that in the 80s. Some of the info is out of date, but the majority of it is very readable, especially concerning non-Western instruments.

Progress so far: 2 Days, 2 Books, 187 Pages.
