"Now, I did have to chuckle at the 1994 “Dyer replica.” I saw this a few years ago – some crazy knockoff by an unknown German maker. Matthew was visibly embarrassed, agreeing with me that it was perhaps better suited to eBay than the MIM (they’d have been better off with a Holloway). Well, until they get a real one, it’ll have to pass as “living tradition” (and be honest – how many of you were building Dyer copies in 1994?). Perhaps the cartoon cloud headstock will even catch on."

We read about the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Trip Advisor - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why! The museum is dedicated to musical instruments from around the world - the collection is fascinating, the exhibits are great and the hands-on displays were fun. We spent almost 5 hours here and still felt rushed - this place is definitely worth a detour.

I know nothing about musical instruments so if you happen to know what a particular instrument is, please feel free to comment on it. I tried to include as many labels as possible.

The museum is in Phoenix, AZ - we visited it in March 2014.
