A proper understanding of these instruments depends on a clear grasp of their acoustical behaviour, as influenced by the properties of mouthpiece, pipe, and bell. A full discussion of these matters therefore forms the opening chapter; this is followed by an introduction to the instruments' basic characteristics and nomenclature.The instruments' historical development is explained in detail, followed by a description of valve systems, materials, and manufacturing techniques.
