The Playing Collection
Expertise for old wind instruments
Show us your old objects

Is this still music? Or can you throw it out?

We will date and assess for free your old instruments, music and pictures.
And we will advise you: should they be repaired, thrown out, used in a carnival band, or put in a museum?

This event is part of the accompanying programme of:
Exhibition on wind instruments from 300 years and try to play by yourself
