Reviews
‘The multiplicity of its authorship, with contributions from seven different personalities, encourages the serious reader to take a far more subjective and thoughtful approach to the recorder and its repertoire than has been past practice.’The Recorder Magazine, '... an excellent starting point for those new to the instrument or amateurs with playing experience who wish to broaden their knowledge. Such readers will come away with a better understanding of the recorder's very rich life through the centuries as well as a good idea of the astonishing amount of writing and research of the last four or five decades.' Notes, 'The Cambridge Companion to the Recorder is one of those marvellous books that you do not have to read at one sitting … if you do not yet own a copy - it is about time you did!'. Early Music and Recorders Journal, '... will undoubtedly become the standard text for recorder players for years to come ... I would guess that even professional players will find things here that are new to them.'

This, combined with many wonderful illustrations, makes The Cambridge Companion to the Recorder an enjoyable and worthy addition (or beginning) to your music library."

    Item was exactly as described and packaged to protect it. Seller’s pricing was spot on and when I received it, it was in good condition. Seller actually messaged me when they shipped it (I really appreciated that). Overall I’m happy doing business with them!

    Very good customer service. Postage was very quick. Unfortunately the packaging wasn't enough to protect the item from a heavy blow and it arrived damaged, but zuber was responsive to the situation. Obviously I'd prefer if nothing had gone wrong, but the real test of customer service is how someone responds when things DO go wrong, and I've got nothing but praise for Katie's communication with me.
