Roedy Black's Musical Instruments Poster: The Home-Printable Wall Chart PDF (Adobe DRM)

by: Wayne O. Chase

Now available as a home-printable wall-chart, Roedy Black's Musical Instruments Poster is a 62-page PDF consisting mainly of images. It contains two sizes of the Musical Instruments Poster. Size "A" (Regular Size) is 19" (49 cm) wide x 27" (68 cm) high. Size "B" (Megasize) is 29" (73 cm) wide x 40" (102 cm) high. You can view these two images on your screen at these large sizes. You can also print out the entire Musical Instruments Poster in sections on 8 ½" by 11" paper and trim off the white space around the four edges of each image on each page, using scissors or a straight-edge and paper cutter (similar to a box cutter, but smaller and lighter). You can then assemble the sections into a large wall chart (two sizes to choose from). The Musical Instruments Poster provides information for mixing, arranging, and producing recorded or live music: comparative pitch ranges of more than 70 popular musical instruments (by note and frequency); six vocal registers (three male, three female) aligned for comparison with each other, and for reference by note and frequency (bass, baritone, tenor, contralto, mezzo-soprano, soprano); tuning directions for 23 of the most popular stringed instruments; 88-note Great Staff (Grand Staff), with each note aligned to its frequency and piano key position; specific pitch frequencies (cycles per second or Hertz) for all 88 notes; instrument families classified, sub-classified (e.g. percussion, brass, woodwinds, strings, etc.), and illustrated to the same scale. The upper half of the Musical Instruments Poster displays all the instruments of the symphony orchestra. The lower half shows a variety of popular non-orchestral instruments.
