Rolf Killius, the co-curator of the Utsavam exhibition at the Horniman Museum discusses their approach to the collection of instruments. The most important thing is not to take anything away. Instruments were commissioned and made rather than just bought off working musicians who could then be left without an instrument to play.

Love the fact that they took the trouble to make sure they never left the musicians without instruments!
