[NSP] Re: Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels

2010-08-24 Thread brimor 

Hi Edric,

So glad to have a reminder of this museum.   It certainly is one of the most 
fascinating for musical instruments.   We have not been back to it for several 
years, although we were in Brussels this spring (staying with some good 
friends).   I am sure that many of the NSP members do not know of it, although 
these days many English people seem to pop over to Belgium for Christmas 
shopping, etc. and it would be well worth their including it in their 
itinerary.  

Regards,

Sheila

   Hi all,

  Apologies if this is common knowledge - couldn't see it mentioned in
  the archives. If you're in Brussels, the Musical Instruments Museum
  (http://www.mim.be/en) is very well worth a visit. They have 60 sets of
  bagpipes of all types, including a musette de cour (with a very
  elaborate bag cover that makes it look like some sort of cushion rather
  than a set of pipes), and a set of NSP (Reid I believe).

  Cheers,

  Edric.

   Just take a sleeping bag and several days' food with you - once in,
   it's difficult to leave, as you keep on seeing just one more thing you
   Really  need to look at...
