Abstract This book guides the reader through the keyboard collections of sixteen nations, thirty-five cities, and forty-seven museums in Europe. It focuses on the more important and unusual holdings in each museum, such as the Cristofori pianos in Rome and Leipzig and the earliest known English double-manual instrument--a 1700 harpsichord by Tisseran, now in Oxford. In addition, the authors provide travelers with essential information for each museum; each site has descriptions of the instruments, location, address, and hours of admission. There are abundant black and white (many full-page) photos, a glossary of terms associated with earlier instruments, and an index of makers.
