Long before the invention of recorded sound, many mechanical devices existed for producing music without the need for musicians. 

​The Grange Musical Collection is a unique
collection of self-playing musical instruments. Educational talks and demonstrations by appointment or why not come and visit the Collection on one of our open days.
