Hi there,

I don't know what's available to the US market, but the book that I would recommend to vintage wind players is "The New Langwill Index. A Dictionary of Musical Wind-Instrument Makers and Inventors". After Langwill, William Waterhouse has improved, increased etc etc to this amazing book, which is published by Tony Bingham, 11 Pond Street, London NW3 2PN. phone +44 171 794 1596

The book contains an alphabetical list of all (or at least as many as it contains!) the makers in Europe during the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries. It also helps give many clues as to manufacture dates etc etc....worth a look. It is quite expensive and if you only want information about one instrument then it will be a lot of money to fork out. Probably in the region of 150 USD. It's not useful for dating with serial numbers, but it contains many other clues that can help you date your instrument, and it's a great book!
