Guided tours of the institute
Examine the historic musical instruments in our collection, as well as their faithful replicas, which are created in our workshop using historical manufacturing techniques.
The tour continues through the measurement room, where valuable information about the instruments is gathered and meticulously documented using highly sophisticated equipment and methods such as microscopes and endoscopes, X-ray analysis, digital scans, and high-resolution photography. Based on this scientific documentation, the replicas of the instruments can be crafted using historical craftsmanship techniques.
This is done in our workshop, which is visited at the end of the tour and ultimately brings music history to life.

Here is the translation of your text into English:
What did a piano sound like in Mozart's time, and why do a harpsichord and clavichord sound so different, even though both have keys? How is sound produced in these instruments? Why were keyboard instruments so small back then, and why are they so large today? How is such an instrument built, and what is needed for it?
Through rabbit felt, quills, bristles, and shark skins, two instrument makers will guide you through the collection and workshop.
