 Oboe Reed Styles: Theory and Practice
ASIN:0253213924
Our Price: $21.95
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: A reed-makers "must have"
Comments: David Ledet has collated many different styles of oboe reeds in this book. Many have photographs - some are not brilliantly clear - and a description of scrape, thickness etc. If you make your own reeds then this book will introduce new styles and how to solve problems, as well as offering an insight as to how others shape their craft.

 Gellerman's International Reed Organ Atlas
ASIN:1879511347
Our Price: $24.50
Customer's Rating: 3
Summary: Good resource for the Reed Organ enthusiast.
Comments: The Atlas is an excellent resource for those who wish to research a particular organ, or to acquaint themselves with the various manufacturers of Reed Organs. The book is arranged like a dictionary, and includes the names of the individuals involved in manufacture, as well as company names, and related suppliers. The volume lists US and International manufacturers. The book is very helpful for basic information, but does not give great detail on any one manufacturer, or provide information on the price or rarity of specific instruments. It does supply some serial numbers and the corresponding dates of manufacture. There are pictures (black and white) of organs, advertisements, and related items throughout the volume, but they are not extensive, and seem to be more for 'decoration' than reference. If you are looking for information on that dusty old parlor organ you found in Grandpa's barn, this is a great reference to get you started. The author has also published several other books that deal with the restoration of these instruments you might find helpful. Another excellent book (which is in Gellerman's bibliography) is Michel's Reed Organ Atlas, (1969) . It has more extensive photo plates, but is harder to find. (I found it in my local library) Good luck if you are researching a particular instrument. Chances are you will find SOME information about it in Gellerman's International Reed Organ Atlas.

 The Bassoon Reed Manual: Lou Skinner's Techniques
ASIN:0253213126
Our Price: $39.95
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: The Bassoon Reed Manual: Lou Skinner's Techniques
Comments: I waited over a year for the book and it was worth the wait. It is well documented and well worth the cost of the book. It will definitely be a well used and valuable reference in any serious bassoonist library. It may be too advance for a beginning reed maker (Popkin & Glickman, Chris Weait, or Mark Eubanks reed books may be easier for them to follow). Thank you Mr. Skinner for sharing your knowledge.

Comments: In my first experience of organ restoration I found this book to contain diagrams and writing on reed organs that has helped me greately in the process. My organ is a Burdett Organ and not widely known from what I have found so the basics on the keyboard, bellows, tuning, etc. has helped.

ASIN:1879511126
Our Price: $29.95
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: Great buy for anyone interested in reed organs.
Comments: This book offers an in-depth look into the history of the reed organ. This is the stregnth of the book. It discusses how the reed organ grew in popularity, why it flourished in the society of its time, and then describes its demise. The restoration information is also good. The workings of the organ are described in a fair amount of detail. The tuning section is quite good. It gives exact methods and tells how to make various tools. It includes stop faces, a stop dictionary, company logos, and other useful information. As I mentioned before, though, the real stregnth of this book is the history! A great read for anyone interested in reed organs.
