What is musical instrument culture?
Musical instrument culture includes making, learning, playing and using instruments socially.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Materials, craft and tuning shape sound. One instrument may be played with different techniques across genres. A displayed object and the musician’s skill should be considered together.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Sustainable access to wood, skin and other materials matters. Documenting makers and performers conveys more than storing the instrument alone.
