About the Book

A comprehensive overview of the origin of the world’s best-known musical instruments, presenting many fascinating facts along the way. Niccolo the cricket would like to become a musician. But which instrument should he start with? The violin? The guitar? The trumpet? All at once? Well, he does have six limbs, so why not? In any case, Niccolo and his trusty companion Luciano the nightingale travel the world as they learn about musical instruments of all kinds, from simple drums to the most sophisticated church organs. Do you know what didgeridoo, shamisen, or vozembouch are? Would you rather become a member of symphony orchestra or a rock band? Let´s find out! If you are interested in music at least a little, join Niccolo and Luciano and learn the stories of musical instruments along with them.

Review :
"My favorite part is the development of the piano since I am a pianist. I loved the cute illustrations in this book! The artwork really brings the history to life. I like that the design has small paragraphs of text so that it is easy to read and absorb the snippets of information. As a musician, I really appreciated all the music history, the explanations about types of music, the nature of sounds for each instrument, and how different styles developed." —Luminous Libros "This is a great book for kids and adults that are interested in the origins of various music. Music is important to culture and the human experience, and many learning tools are through music. It is a culturally diverse approach, and the illustrations are colorful and lighthearted." ―Jordan Gray, Librarian "The Stories of Musical Instruments by Stepanka Sekaninova and Jakub Cenkl- This book features many different instruments from around the world from Japanese flutes to didgeridoos. It is packed with interesting information from how the instruments are made, their cultural history, impacts they had on the music scene and so much more. There is a lot to read in this book and it is all nicely categorized by instrument type with a table of contents at the beginning." —Book Nerd Mommy Blog "This book offers a very useful support in explaining children the different musical instruments, as well as introducing a bit of musical history." —WildWritingLife, Blogger
