The Woodwind Quarterly, Issue 8, February 1995

Issue 8 of The Woodwind Quarterly, dated February 1995, with a recorder on the cover. The magazine was edited by Scott Hirsch and published from Colville, Washington, and this issue ranges right across the woodwind world, from the simple-system flute and the whistle to alto clarinets and Ganassi recorders. A very interesting read.
