Descripción: Yale University.
«Established in 1900, when Morris Steinert presented to Yale his collection consisting chiefly of keyboard instruments, the Collection grew slowly for over half a century largely through donations from alumni.»
«The acquisition of the Belle Skinner Collection (1960) and the Emil Herrmann Collection (1962) established the position of the Yale Collection as one of the world's most important repositories of musical instruments, and confirmed its character as a "collection of superlatives," as an enthusiastic admirer of the Skinner collection once had put it.»
«Since 1970 the Collection has nearly trebled in size, today comprising nearly one thousand instruments, the majority documenting the history of Western art music.»
