Remember this post? longforparade dropped by the Matrixsynth Forum to let us know that the Musicmuseet website has been updated:"Hi,
I am in fact the "member of the swedish analog sympathizer-mailinglist working at the Musikmuseet". I am also, of course, a daily visitor to the Matrixsynth blog. As this is my last day working on the project of documenting the electronic instruments at Musikmuseet (The Stockholm Music Museum), I wanted to tell the world that many more instruments can now be seen, some even heard, on the museum's homepage:

Direct link to the electric and electronic instruments
The collection of electric and electronic instruments is not a huge one, but it contains quite a few rare and interesting objects as can be seen on those pages, and for the most part the instruments are very well preserved due to the fact that they have been kept in storage since the 80's.
A few instruments are on permanent display in the museum, for example the EMS Synthi AKS (M4022) and the Yamaha GS1 (M4055) formerly belonging to Benny Andersson of ABBA, but most of them are kept in storage and can be seen on special appointment by contacting the museum."
Picutured (note the date on this one - it looks like something that would have be done today)
"Educational instruments constructed by Ralph Lundsten and Leo Nilson 1968 for Swedish Rikskonserters school tour "I tonsättarens verkstad" ("In the composer's workshop"). The instruments were distributed among the pupils to be played after a score shown as a film."
