195 boat lutes of the Philippines documented by Hans Brandeis
Of the 195 documented, 56 boat lutes were collected by Hans Brandeis in the Philippines. Most of them, 29 instruments are with the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, Arizona, 4 of them with the Musée du quai Branly in Paris, another 4 with the Museum for Ethnology in Berlin, and the remaining 19 lutes are still part of the private collection of Hans Brandeis.
The sizes of the instruments are correct, in relation to each other.
All these instruments will be described in detail in the work-in-progress "The Singing Crocodile - Boat Lutes in the Philippines."
