Extract

This list was compiled in connection with a study of amateur music-making in London during the later seventeenth century which forms part of my Ph. D work in the Music Faculty of King's College, London. While attempting to discover just what instruments amateur musicians of that time favoured, and what standard of efficiency they might be likely to reach on them, I made a close study of the extant instrumental tutors for the period. The material proved to be so fascinating that I extended the dates, and the result is the list printed here.
