A Horn History Timeline


index.4 A Horn History TimelineI was checking the great University of Iowa horn website tonight and found a link to a site I had not visited in quite some time (probably only when it was in development last year), www.hornhistory.com. It is a website that is built around a timeline of horn history, and is well worth a visit, as the author, Kayla Nelson, has taken on the daunting task of working recent scholarship into the timeline instead of just repeating older sources.

Also check out the resources page at the University of Iowa horn studio for great information and links.
