The third edition of Donald H. Boalch's Makers of the Harpsichord and Clavichord, 1440-1840 is a complete revision of the second edition published in 1974. The volume is now divided into two parts. Part I contains biographical details of all known makers, including some 500 not listed previously, and updated entries for more than 400 makers appearing in the second edition. Enlarged (and in some cases extended) descriptions of more than 2,000 surviving instruments by the makers are consigned to Part II, and the whole is complemented by a number of tables, a geographical and chronological conspectus of makers, and a new Index of Technical Terms in seven languages by Dr Andreas H. Roth.
