Music Library Displays Instruments In the Stacks

Several in-stacks display cases were recently mounted in the Music Library to show off musical instruments from the Lentz Collection for Asian Culture. The unusual idea came out of a discussion music librarian Anita Breckbill had several years ago with members of the User Experience team of the Libraries, and it stuck.

String instruments are in one case, flutes in another, and reed and brass instruments in a third.  There are a few larger instruments displayed elsewhere in the Music library. Faculty in the music school often borrow and incorporate the instruments into a class curriculum. 

See the new instruments during the hours that the Music Library is open.
