St Cecilia's Hall Museum of Instruments

The only place in the world where it is possible to hear 18th c music in an 18th c concert hall played on 18c instruments.

Owned by The University of Edinburgh, this music and concert hall contains one of the world's most important collections of historic musical instruments, many of which remain playable in a concert setting.

On display are around fifty of the world’s most important and best-preserved early keyboard instruments.

The exhibits include harpsichords, clavichords, pianos and chamber organs from 1574-1840, many in playing order.

The auditorium at St Cecilia’s Hall which dates from 1763 is the oldest concert hall in Scotland, and the second oldest in Britain.
