Handbook of the Collection of Musical Instruments in the United States National Museum (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Handbook of the Collection of Musical Instruments in the United States National Museum
The literary material left by Mr. Hawley is extensive and has been of greatest assistance in preparing this handbook. The card index of specimens comprises cards, with detailed information concerning each specimen. Separate card indexes were prepared by him showing the classes of musical instruments with catalogue num bers of specimens, the geographical locations whence the specimens came, the names of collectors or donors, and an index of musical terminology. The largest card index prepared by Mr. Hawley con tains more than cards, representing musical instruments in other museums or mentioned in literature, with descriptions and references. Only type specimens in the National Museum collection are included in this latter index. In addition to exhibited speci mens and card indexes the musical material comprises reference books, old musical publications, photographs, and phonograph rec ords of primitive music, some of the latter made in 1888.
