In Reply to: looking for a book about musical instruments posted by Ray Kimber on April 22, 2007 at 09:07:29:
published by Dorling Kindersley in 1993 includes a major chapter titled "An Anatomy of Instruments" with photos and descriptions.The weakness for your intended purpose is that it only covers instruments typically used in jazz. The benefit is the broad coverage of jazz - history, major artists, techniques, and listings of classic recordings with photos of the album covers. This only works if the happy couple has an interest in jazz or might be curious about it. I've had my copy for years and it was marked $30 so that may disqualify it as well.
I'm sure I've seen a flash (colorful coffee table style) book devoted to instruments at Barnes & Noble or Borders too. Have you checked their websites with a search for Instruments?
Good luck. Sounds like it would be a nice gift.
