We currently have over one hundred video clips of historic stringed, woodwind, brasswind and percussion instruments being demonstrated and discussed by musicians. Many of our instruments have been played and recorded. You can find short clips through the Collection database. Longer films, including demonstrations, 30-minute concerts and discussions, are available on our Youtube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@StCeciliasHallThe instrumentsNot all the instruments in the Collection are in a playable state, and for some, it would be too risky to attempt to use them even for a limited time. We take great care in examining each instrument before it is played, and undertake any necessary conservation treatments before and after the performance to ensure we preserve our Collection in perpetuity.
