The Rarest Historical Instruments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The new acquisitions and loans include some of the rarest examples of their kind, including one of only four existing Hochbrucker pedal harps<\/strong>, “the first ukulele” handcrafted in 1879<\/em>, and a beautifully crafted hitoyogiri<\/strong> that is one of only two existing Japanese flutes known to have been owned and treasured by Emperor Go-Daigo of Japan (1288\u20131339). With each of these treasures comes an incredible story. These musical narratives unfold through videos of notable artists performing with some of the instruments on display.<\/p>\n

The exhibition also features modern instruments, including ones played by legends, like Eric Clapton’s famed 1956 Fender Stratocaster<\/strong> “Brownie,”<\/strong> a 1958 Gibson Flying V electric guitar<\/strong> played by guitar virtuosos including Joe Bonamassa and Eric Johnson<\/strong>, as well as Prince’s “Black Power”<\/strong> bass and his purple grand piano.<\/p>\n
