Children's programme during the Festive Soirée of Musicology in Göttingen

Are bagpipes only played in Scotland? When was the recorder invented? And what on earth are those pencils, nails and erasers doing in the piano?! The Musical Instrument Collection of the University has instruments from all over the world, some of them very old. In this tour specially for kids we'll show you some of the most exciting ones - and give you a chance to play some, too! This tour opens the Festive Soirée of Musicology in Göttingen.
