Musical Instruments
Author: J. Kenneth Moore
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 1588395626
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
This insightful appreciation of musical instruments features more than one hundred extraordinary pieces from the Metropolitan Museum’s collection. Whether created to entertain a royal court, provide personal solace, or aid in rites and rituals, these instruments fully demonstrate music’s universal resonance and the ingenuity various cultures have deployed for musical expression. The results are astoundingly diverse: from Bronze Age cymbals and sistra to violins made by Stradivari, monumental slit drums from Oceania, and iconic twentieth-century American guitars. Stunning new photographs and a lively text reveal these objects to be works of both musical and visual art, as well as marvels of technology and masterpieces of design. Depictions of instruments and music making—paintings, statues, and pottery—further illuminate the narrative, providing a vivid counterpoint to these remarkable objects.

Pages : 222
Book Description
We started Mystic Guitar as an online shop in Old Mystic, Connecticut in December of 2013. Our intent was to seek out the unusual, the unique, the hard to find or the just plain cool! Not just guitars, but banjos, ukuleles, mandolins, dulcimers, pretty much anything with strings. We travelled all over New England, always on the lookout for sensational and sometimes bizarre instruments that many times have an incredible story to tell. In this book I have selected a few of the hundreds of instruments we have sold at Mystic Guitar over the years. All of them have a story to tell but unfortunately many of their stories are lost forever in the fog of the past. Read the stories and look at the pictures... I took them myself. - Joel Bergeron, Mystic Guitar.
