​Welcome to the Friends' website

The Friends work to :
  • raise funds to buy instruments
  • acquire books and other material about the history of the instruments
  • organise and promote educational projects
  • help generally with the work of the Hall and the Collection.
  • provide student bursaries for early music and early music technology.

Our main fundraising effort is our series of concerts for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 

In addition, we sell books connected with the collection, plus technical drawings, data-sheets and photographs of instruments in the Collection.
