Description:

Special Large Print Edition

ABOUT THE BOOK: "This work of high originality rekindles our sense of life’s rich mystery," said Library Journal of the first edition. This remarkable book received the Western States Book Award for creative non-fiction in 1986 with additional praise from The New York Times, NPR and other major media. It lapsed briefly out of print until updated by UP in 2005. A veteran piano tuner presents a literary, minimally technical view of the quixotic tuning systems used on keyboard instruments for hundreds of years.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Anita Sullivan lives in Oregon, where recently she has turned her attention to early pianos, the tuning of historical temperaments, and the music that goes with them.

This special large format edition is not available in bookstores, or from other online booksellers.
