He has bought and sold over 2,000 brass instruments, visited factories and museums, conferred with designers and attended and managed instrument exhibits. He has used all this accumulated knowledge and experience in preparing this excellent book that is almost requirement for anyone interested in brass musical instruments. It is a 76 page book measuring 11 by 8 ½  inches and has a color cover with black and white pages with many photographs….The introduction includes sections on early brass instruments, varieties of brass instruments and the purpose of the book…. The main body of the book is titled Manufacturers and Distributors. This section gives history and facts about 39 brass instrument manufacturers and distributors in the united States in the 20
