#musicalinstruments — Public Fediverse posts

Today is (apparently) Uncommon Instrument Awareness Day, so here are 4 images showing 16th Century Western perceptions of musicians and their instruments (some more uncommon than others) from the continents of America, Africa, Asia and Europe.
From a book showing the 8 pageants held for the Christening of Princess Elisabeth of Hesse in 1596.
Bavarian State Library: Cod.icon. 340.

A friend in Budapest who knows I'm interested in the #cobza sent me some new videos about cobza-making #luthiers to watch😏 🎶
The first, an hourlong episode from TVR Moldova is about maker Nicolae Dron, who lives in a town south of #Chişinău #Moldova

Episode is in Romanian of course, but even if you can't understand the narration, there are many cool clips of different cobzas being played or what new and old ones look like inside
