19th
century Saxophones by Adolph Sax, the inventor
of the Saxophone.
The art of making music requires genius, precision and
passion. Founded in 1973, this landmark museum in Vermillion,
South Dakota, includes more than 10,000 musical instruments
from virtually all cultures and historical periods.
Today, its holdings are rivaled only by institutions
in such cultural centers as Berlin, Brussels, Paris,
and Vienna. Featured are Stradivari and Amati violins;
Saxophones by Sax, the inventor of the saxophone; American
Civil War brass instruments; C.G. Conn instruments;
a contemporary Gamelan; a Thai turned log drum; the
Sergeant Pepper Lonely Hearts Club horn; the Bill Clinton
sax and more.
