《法國長笛學派》一書是法國精神心理醫師克勞德．多賀革依根據自己與多位音樂家（特別是與賀內．勒華這位長笛家）學習並深入交往的心得與經驗所寫成的，可分為兩大部份：第一部份從創始者塔法內爾開始，介紹《法國長笛學派》的代表長笛家們，再來集中於與作者有密切關聯的賀內．勒華，詳細介紹這位長笛家對嘴型、技巧與聲音等等的看法，並透過作者的專業，用解剖生理學的角度來分析這些技巧的形成，其中有一些是作者自己多年來在各個學會中所發表的文章，也有談論歌唱呼吸技巧的文章。附錄的部份是作者對現今幾樣管樂器的觀察心得，還有幾首常見樂曲的樂譜更正，另附有一些參考資料。第二部份則是兩篇貝姆的文章，作者將它們從德文翻譯成法文，譯者再轉譯成中文；目前您所見到的應該是國內首見這兩篇文章的中文翻譯，值得一讀。
本書特別的地方在於作者以其精神心理醫師的專業，透過自身深入學習音樂並與多位名家交往的經驗，用科學分析的角度來看他觀察到的現象。鮮少有人能有這樣的背景與機緣，用這樣的視野來探討音樂演奏的問題。本書不僅對長笛專業人士或業餘愛好人士來說，是一本有價值的參考書，相信對思索音樂演奏有興趣的人士來說，也會是一本值得閱讀的書。

籌劃多時，美國 Solexa 手工長笛終於準備好在市面推出。定位在中級品市場，將與眾多日本及美國品牌的樂器在極其擁擠的市場中較量。 價格上，比日本樂器經濟；品質上，不比其它美國樂器遜色。消費者可以仔細比較。 註：Solexa 樂器為美國 ABA Music, Inc. 產品，部分在中國上海製造、組裝。
