Cantos Music Foundation offers tours of the Cantos Music Collection of over 400 keyboard and related electronic instruments. Our interpreters will guide visitors through the history of keyboard instruments and related electronic music instruments from 246 B.C. to the present, www.cantos.ca
WOW! So many different types of pianos and organs. The collection includes a sample of the first pianos up to modern pianos. Our interpreter provided information on the history of the instruments and what factors affected how/why they were built.
The Kimball Theatre Organ was by far the most impressive instrument while the Theremin was the most fun to play - it uses the electrical energy in your body to produce sounds not unlike what you might hear in a science fiction movie.
