Summary:
This book includes instructions for constructing musical instruments with simple tools. It is arranged to follow the popular division of instruments into percussion, string, and wind sections, but many of the instruments have been singled out for special ethnic groups. Two additional sections include suggestions for teachers and recreation directors and methods for construction and working with different materials.
