that defy categorization, Around the World in 80 Musical Instruments

mbira, as well as the creations of modern artists and musicians, such as the
Wintergatan Marble Machine and the eerie-sounding yaybahar. Readers will even
discover a band that plays exclusively on instruments fashioned from fresh
vegetables and makes the scraps into soup to serve to the audience! Includes a stunning central gatefold that opens out to reveal
all 80 trees and how they relate to each other in families.
A visual celebration of the huge variety of musical
instruments found across the globe, from those you know to those you almost
certainly don’t!
