INSTRUMENTARIUM

This page is a portal to the collection of instruments that I have designed and built. Click on any of the instrument names below for descriptions, sound clips and photos. The word (new) following a name indicates that this instrument has been added to the collection within the last year. Those appearing in bold italics are either special favorites of my own or ones that others have found particularly interesting; you might enjoy checking these out first.

The categorization of the instruments on this page is a non-rigorous one loosely following the natural groupings of my own instrument-making practice. For more on the nerdy but interesting topic of musical instrument classification systems, see here.
