Hi Billy - I went to Snowshill about 12 years ago. They let me come when
they were closed and spent a couple of hours inspecting the instruments and
taking a few measurements etc. I've also got some photos. The curator and
staff were amazingly kind and made me coffee and sandwiches and all I had to
do in return was sit in the garden another day when they were open to the
public, and play some tunes. They even gave me lunch for that as well. It's
a great place absolutely stuffed with the most extraordinary items. The
owner spent his life travelling and collecting anything that he thought was
beautifully made etc. and definitely worth a visit.
Anyway, contact me off list and I can email what I have to you.
All the best
Mike
