michael<p>I do love the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BateCollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BateCollection</span></a> and have their poster on my wall, but as my own instrument collection has grown a bit in the last few years, I'm beginning to feel they don't have a vast number of instruments. They tell me 3/4 of the collection are in the current display. Their catalogue has 2698 entries, but these include lots tools and accessories, and instrument parts such as a cello spike listed near the end. So maybe 1,000 complete instruments? <a href="https://bate.web.ox.ac.uk/catalogue" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">bate.web.ox.ac.uk/catalogue</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oxford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oxford</span></a></p>

And to play their <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theremin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theremin</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/serpent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>serpent</span></a>. Closed from tomorrow until they reopen in the new Schwarzman building some time in the summer. Staff told me they won't have more space there, but will use more efficient display technology, such as drawers. </p><p><a href="https://bate.web.ox.ac.uk/opening-time-and-how-find-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bate.web.ox.ac.uk/opening-time</span><span class="invisible">-and-how-find-us</span></a></p>
michael<p>... which reminds me - <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Oxford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oxford</span></a>'s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BateCollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BateCollection</span></a> of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MusicalInstruments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicalInstruments</span></a> is due to move to the new Schwarzman Centre soon. As I understand it, today and next week may be the last chance to see it in its historic premises?! <a href="https://bate.web.ox.ac.uk/opening-time-and-how-find-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bate.web.ox.ac.uk/opening-time</span><span class="invisible">-and-how-find-us</span></a></p>
