This is an old revision of the document!


Bart Hopkin is a creative organologist, ethnomusicologist, musical instrument inventor, writer, editor, and the publisher of EMI magazine. He is a prolific maker and one of the most significant contributors to the current environment of idiosyncratic musical instruments as a genre. This page is very incomplete and represents what will be one of the largest pages on this wiki. Bart Hopkin has significant contributions and connections to many other makers on this wiki. Expect this page to be one of the longest and most complex pages.
