    [description] => <p></p><h1><span style="font-size: 31px;">Great Flutemakers of France - Tula Giannini</span></h1>Great Flute Makers of France explores the work and lives of the most 
prolific&nbsp;french flute makers throughout history. This book is a useful 
reference tool and a great fuel for information for any flautist. 
Essential for those with a French flute.<p></p><p>Tula Giannini is an accomplished professional flautist, scholar, and 
also former curator of the Dayton C. Miller Flute Collection at the 
Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. &nbsp;Her exceptionally fruitful 
research into primary sources in France and elsewhere has resulted in 
the first detailed and fully documented account of the lives and 
accomplishments of the pre eminent flute makers of France. She covers a 
period of 250 years.</p>
<p>Great Flute Makers of France includes&nbsp;previously unknown source 
material, keeping&nbsp;scholars busy for years to come. Collectors, dealers, 
and museum curators can more&nbsp;accurately date their instruments. Giannini
 provides an&nbsp;extensive lists of production figures, dating of serial 
numbers, contracts, maker’s marks, and patents.&nbsp;The book includes 
reproductions of many original documents and their English translations.
 Using genealogy charts, the author has clarified the intricate 
genealogical links among many of the most important French wind 
instrument makers. &nbsp;She reveals that all the French flute makers with 
the surname Lot were from the same family. &nbsp;Also, the book includes many
 photographs of flutes discussed in the text.</p>
<p>Giannini assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of the flute 
and terminology related to it. The book is thus perhaps not for the 
general reader. It&nbsp;is of great importance to flautists and scholars with
 an interest in the history of European woodwind instruments in the 
post-Renaissance age. &nbsp;A thoroughly stimulating book.</p>
