STEVE SALMON - WOODWIND KEY CHARTS

Originally written as an aid for the Royal Marines Band Instructors for the Volunteer Bands of the Royal Navy, this book is a combination of key charts, a rough guide to fault finding and assessing problems on mainstream woodwind instruments. There is advice about storing instruments and selecting a good repairer. Chapters on each instrument are in full colour charting keys, pads and mechanisms on: Flute & Piccolo, Clarinet, Saxophone, Oboe & Cor Anglais and the Bassoon, helping the teacher or instructor identify keys and pads relating to a woodwind instrument with a problem. This will greatly assist a repairer by saving a lot of time exploring to discover the fault which, in turn, could have the effect of saving you money on the cost of a repair.

The information will be of benefit to Woodwind Teachers, Heads of Instrumental Music and Band Instructors to use as a reference. There are notes in each instrumental section to highlight trouble spots with advice to help you find the right area and key names. If you are trying to explain a problem over the phone to a repairer a diagram of keys and pads can be invaluable. Books on 'Looking after your Instrument' (Flute & Piccolo, Oboe & Cor Anglais, Clarinet, Saxophone including Soprano, Alto, Tenor & Baritone and Bassoon.) and keeping it in good condition, written by the same author are also available from Book Stores and Music Shops or: log onto trafford.com and order from there.
