Musik am Mittag: Schellack, Wachs und Pferdehaar – Die frühen Jahre der Tonträgergeschichte

In the organizer's words:

Would you like to take a short tour of the exhibition? With the short format "Music at noon", we invite you to discover the music exhibition "From the Edison reel to Blu-ray" in all its different facets.

We have selected special sound carriers, early playback devices and the reproduction piano from the exhibits in the music exhibition. We regularly take a closer look at the selected objects, tell the stories behind them and provide answers to the questions of how sound carriers and playback devices have developed and how a piano produces music without a visible player.
