When you tour through the Cantos Music Collection, you journey into our musical history. With over 200 instruments on display, the Collection spans the evolution of music from 246 B.C. to present day.

Among the pipe organs, clavichords, pianos, synthesizers, drum machines and related artifacts, is a one of a kind Johannes Couchet harpsichord from 1679, a Kimball Theatre Organ from 1924, an impressive variety of Moog electronic instruments, and a Mellotron similar to one used by the Beatles.
