Bate Collection of Musical Instruments

In 1963 Philip Bate donated its extensive collection of European orchestral wind instruments to the Oxford University. Since then, the collection wa increased thanks to loans and donations. This allows the students to experiment with these old musical instruments. It also has several keyboards, like a harpsichord used by Haydn in his time in Oxford. Among the exotic instruments donated to the collection outstands a Javanese gamelan.
