"It was estimated in 1829 that one man in ten in London played the flute. Players, teachers, composers and makers competed for their share of the vast market for anything to do with the flute. Much of the history of the flute in the nineteenth century is based on the works in this collection, which includes descriptions of newly-invented flutes, arguments about their relative merits and some extraordinary battles between rival makers and players."--Publisher's description.

This book is an entirely new work rather than a revision of Lyndsay Langwill's sixth edition. It is the standard work in its field, the most comprehensive work on wind instrument makers in any language and a major reference tool for collectors and researchers. Some features of the New Langwill Index are: Entries for nearly 6500 makers and inventors, active from the beginning until the middle of the 20th century; Nearly 400 representations of maker's marks; An index of makers under workplace, listing over 1000 localities; A comprehensive bibliography of over 600 titles. - Publisher.
