#batecollection — Public Fediverse posts

#BateCollection cont'd:
No storyline in evidence, such as the development of string instruments from Mongolian horsehead fiddle to this day.
Loving the irony of the one and only #theremin labelled "Do not touch". That's exactly how you play the thing ...

Speaking of theremins, apparently Lydia Kavina is due to perform there right now, but I couldn't be bothered to go back for that, too depressing.

We used to have a #museum of sorts, small but quirky. This is just a showroom. #oxford

inspected #oxford's new #BateCollection today.
It has shrunk to a single room with not that many #MusicalInstruments on display. I probably own more instruments than you can see there without starting to pull out drawers.
Not many of the instruments are from the period they are supposedly representing.
