Description:

This is a thoroughly revised and updated version of a standard work of reference, first published in 1956, second edition in 1974. The third edition incorporates the extensive research of the last twenty years: biographical information on more than 1500 makers (including 500 not listed previously) and details of their surviving instruments are now separated into two substantial parts, the second part now including detailed descriptions and remarks on more than 2,000 instruments. The main text is complemented by four tables, a geographical and chronological conspectus of makers, and an enlarged seven-language glossary of technical terms.
