Antique Musical Instruments: Marxophone & Beyond Sunday, August 27 at 3pm

You’ve seen them at flea markets: many-stringed, play-by-number, with decorative decals & creative playing mechanisms. Mass manufacture spawned an outpouring of musical invention. The many resulting instruments, some ridiculous, some sublime, & all marketed as the ultimate in DIY music-making, were sold door-to-door & in popular catalogs. Explore the whimsical world of vintage fretless zithers with me in Denmark this Sun., 8/27 3pm. Suggested donation $5.
