The articles in Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians (5th edn., 1954) will be found useful on most instruments and the Galpin Society Journal (London, 1947 onwards) is devoted entirely to the history of musical instruments and specializes in printing results of fresh research in every branch of the subject.
