Tipbook Trumpet & Trombone by Hugo Pinksterboer. The Tipbook Company, 2001, PB, 132 pages. This is a "hardware" book about the instruments and is especially recommended for anyone who wants to learn more about or needs a reference on the physical aspects of the trumpet (also cornet and flugelhorn) and trombone. This may include adult beginners, parents of clarinet students, teenage students, non-brass playing music education majors or band directors, etc. The book is very well illustrated and includes chapters on buying an instrument, mouthpieces, mutes, steps to take before and after playing, maintenance, how they are made, the brands of brass instruments, the family of brasswinds, etc.
