Introduction

The basis for this catalogue comes from Ewald Henseler (1996) with a great deal of additional data from Minoru Yoshizawa, Michel Quagliozzi, and Gonzalo Ariel Juan, and myself. Further details of a few of these items may be found in Hauwe (1998-). The most up-to-date version of the present list is maintained by Minoru on his Recorder Home Page Japan site where it is available in both Japanese and English. Additions can be sent to Minoru or to myself.
