Card Covers. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 254p."The Glen Account Book: Insights of Musical Instrument Usage in a Time of Change Arnold Myers The Edinburgh University Collection of Historic Musical Instruments is publishing a transcription of a purchase day-book kept by the instrument maker and dealer Thomas Glen from 1838 to 1853 . The book was known only to visitors to the Collection, several of whom suggested that its importance justified publication. In 1838 Glen was well established, and had recently moved to 2 North Bank Street, Edinburgh, not far from the Castle. By 1853, at least the elder of his sons and successors John and Robert had entered the business. The book shows many aspects of the use of instruments of all kinds such as the decline of sales of keyed bugles and the rise of sales of larger valved brass from Sax and other makers. There is much evidence of Glen's activity as an instrument maker, with records of purchases including ivory, wood of various sorts, castings for wood-wind keys, brass tubing (from a Sheffield optician) and materials for violin making. It is interesting to see how far the numbers of the different kinds of instruments that Glen sold differ from those in our museums and instrument co15ections . For instance, tenor trombones in C outnumber tenor trombones in B by 3 to 1, but C trombones of this period are not represented in our collections at all. The text has been transcribed (the handwriting is difficult in places), retaining the rather erratic spelling of the original (see sample page). An index to the names of makers and suppliers of instruments and an analytical index to the instruments by kind has been included in the publication. There is also an extract from a sales daybook kept by Thomas Glen showing credit sales of instruments from 1847 to 1857, which provides interesting complementary information. The Collection of Historic Musical Instruments is publishing this as a source material for curators and other scholars". The book is clean and unmarked. See scans.…
