Construction & Design

This bibliography covers a wide range of topics concerning the making of recorders, arranged under a number of useful headings. It will be of general interest to wind-instrument makers, repairers and players. However, the focus is largely on the literature of relevance to makers themselves. A more convenient and flexible way of exploring it is via the Zotero citation database underlying this web-site. The Zotero interface is straightforward to use and allows you to export selected entries in a variety of formats and to create your own citation lists in a range of journal styles. All you need is your web-browser. This will be of particular assistance to students and researchers.
