|
Here I`ll post some pics of musical instruments, which I took when I was in the Museum of Classical Instruments in Rome.
There is a good collection but many missing instruments, could be more. However, all the instruments are from all over the world, from different epochs, some are in strange shape, others are strange at all, etc.
Viola da Gamba (The father and the mother of today`s violine)
Glass Harmonium (bowls are crystal)
Gusla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusle)
Harmonium cilindrum
Clack Clack
African Instruments
