| Title | Instruments of Regional Cultures Worldwide in MIMEd |
|---|
| Description | This division of the Collection covers instruments from non-Western cultures, totalling around three hundred and thirty objects. Although not fully representative of musical instruments from regional cultures, it contains relatively old (early 19th-century) items, and a fair sample of the types of instruments used worldwide. Important items include a mrdangam, a tabla and a baya, all from India, which are mid 19th century or earlier. |
