Gliding Tones on Whistle, Notes on Recorders
One of the last remaining free music machines, Gliding Tones on Whistle, Notes on Recorders, has now been conserved and is on display at the Percy Grainger Home and Studio, the same spaces where Grainger and Burnett Cross created all of the free music machines. The display includes two information panels, on Percy Grainger and Free Music, and on the Gliding Tones on Whistle, Notes on Recorders machine. The process of conservation is outlined in two of our blogs, Re-stringing the Paper: Conservation of Gliding Tones on Whistle, Notes on Recorders, and Conservation at the Percy Grainger Home and Studio.
