The Musical Instruments Museum – United States and Canada section. Scottsdale – AZ

We decided to visit the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM) again in late April 2023, before our yearly membership would be over. As shared in my previous blog posts about this museum and presented in its website, the MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global, which I think they have really accomplished.

We went through the United States and Canada section this time, which was the only one we had not visited. It was a bot different than what we expected since, compared to the other sections, this one includes several contemporary instruments and artists that provide a bit of a different context. I took some photos out of what captured my attention most, and they are presented below.

A very interesting one about Alice Cooper
Chicago.
The Arizona State University one.
Hawaiian Music.
Hip Hop.
Impressive exhibition of Steinway pianos.
This piano is considered to be the very first Steinway piano ever made.
It was nice to listen ‘Contrabando y Traición’ performed by ‘Los Tigres del Norte’ in the Norteño | Conjunto section.
