Instruments Make Play is a collection of instrument builders. The website also hosts a yearly festival in the Netherlands.
“Besides being a festival for invented instruments, Instruments Make Play wants to be an international platform for musicians, builders and artists as well. Our first aim; to collect information about anybody who ever invented an instrument and put it online, in order to grow a database of names and aural furniture.” 1)
