"The story of the early trombone has been told by various authors.... My book focuses on the Renaissance, telling its story through pictures and documents rather than by means of a continuous narrative. My objective is to provide a source book that will be useful to performers as well as scholars, one that offers the reader vivid snapshots of the early history of the instrument." -Stewart Carter (Introduction)
