Musée d'Histoire de la Médecine à Paris (www.bium.univ-paris5.fr/musee)
Depuis 1971 le siège de l'université de Paris V René Descartes se situe 12 rue de l'école de Médecine, dans les locaux de l'ancienne Faculté de médecine, créée en 1803 et installée dans les bâtiments du collège et de l'Académie de chirurgie.
Au deuxième étage du bâtiment, dans une salle construite en 1905, se trouve le Musée d'Histoire de la Médecine.
Ses collections, les plus anciennes d'Europe, ont été réunies par le doyen Lafaye au XVIIIe siècle, puis s'y est ajouté un important ensemble de pièces qui couvre les différentes branches de l'art opératoire jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle. On peut aussi y découvrir quelques rares trousses de médecins et de chirurgiens ainsi que des instruments de physiologie.
Another of the shots taken in the art studio at Appleby College... These instruments are all past their functional life in making music, but their forms can combine to create a new kind of art.
Adelaide Hall, jazz singer and entertainer, was born in Brooklyn, New York. A self-taught tap dancer, Hall began her long and eventful stage career in Noble Sissle's and Eubie Blake's Broadway musical Shuffle Along (1921).
Hall toured Europe with Britain’s Evelyn Dove in the revue, The Chocolate Kiddies (1925). Duke Ellington contributed to the score and Hall’s association with Ellington continued when he encouraged her to become one of the first scat vocalists in jazz. Her wordless vocal on ‘Creole Love Call’, which they subsequently recorded in 1927, was innovatory as a use of the voice as pure jazz instrument. Their association continued throughout her career and in 1974 she sang at his memorial service at St Martin-in-the-Fields Church, London.
In 1928 she co-starred with Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson in Blackbirds of 1928, Broadway's longest-running Black-cast revue. In the show Adelaide introduced the classic song ‘I Can't Give You Anything But Love’. In the 1930s Hall headlined at New York's famous Cotton Club and opened a nightclub in Paris with her husband, Bert Hicks, a British subject from Trinidad. In 1939 she made London her home where she opened another popular nightspot with her husband: the Florida Club in Mayfair. Between 1939 and 1945 she made over seventy recordings for Decca. After losing the Florida Club in an air raid during the London Blitz, Hall spent the remainder of the war broadcasting for the BBC, touring Britain's music halls, and entertaining troops for the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA). After the war, she appeared in cabaret and occasionally in West End musicals, including Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate (1951).
In the 1950s she and her husband opened their third nightclub, the Calypso, in London's Regent Street. In 1957, after an absence of twenty-seven years, Hall reappeared on the Broadway musical stage in Jamaica with Lena Horne. It ran for over 500 performances. After the death of her husband in 1963, Hall's career lost direction. In the 1970s she performed in shows with titles such as The Jolson Minstrel Show. When Francis Ford Coppola's film The Cotton Club was released in Britain in 1985, the British press discovered they had a real-life Cotton Club legend in their midst. To her delight the release of the film gave Hall an unexpected career boost and she found herself in demand for press interviews, cabaret appearances, and television. She said: ‘Look, I'm way past seventy. Before the film, I'd been singing in town halls up and down the country, doing charity shows. People thought I was back in the States, that's how quiet things were. But ever since the movie came out my phone hasn't stopped ringing. It feels good to be a legend—and still living.’ In 1988 there was a triumphant, sell-out homecoming when Hall made an appearance in her one-woman show at New York's Carnegie Hall.
In 1989, Adelaide Hall's happy and joyful personality was successfully captured in Sophisticated Lady, a Channel 4 television documentary that included reminiscences by the star and excerpts from a concert filmed at the Riverside Studios. Also in 1989 she was given a special award from the BBC's Jazz Society. This was followed in 1992 with a Gold Badge of Merit from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Arrangers. In 1991 she was reunited with her 1928 Blackbirds co-star, Elisabeth Welch, in the Cole Porter Centennial Gala at the Prince Edward Theatre. That same year she celebrated her ninetieth birthday with an all-star tribute at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. She died in London's Charing Cross Hospital on November 7, 1993 and her funeral took place in New York at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City.
I shot this for the Macro Mondays group theme of Musical Instruments: 23/05/2011.
This wonderful little electronic device is called a Stylophone! It was invented in the late sixties and produced until the mid seventies! The, err, synthesizer, was promoted by no other than Rolf Harris, who released a number of play along records, and appeared in commercials advocating its use.
I'm not sure the noise it produces can be called music, but as you can see below from the operating instructions, it claims to be the greatest little instrument of the century!
Who am I to disagree? :)

I always envied the flute and piccolo players. Their instruments weighed next to nothing. Heck, the piccolo players could put them in their pockets at the end of the parade. I, however had to lug this stupid, heavy, baritone sax around which really was only good for playing the Pink Panther theme.

Cantor e compositor Paulinho Moska apresenta “Violoz”, show solo apenas com voz e seus violões preferidos, em São Paulo. 23.07.16

What you see in this picture is the goddess Hathor's head which once sat on a sistrum, a kind of rattle instrument. A sistrum was used by Hathor priests and women of high birth in ancient Egypt, under the Hathor worship. The handle of a sistrum was often decorated with Hathor's head, and when the instrument was used, a bell sounded. The Hathor head displayed at the Mediterranean Museum is about 10 cm high in stone, and is from the 700-300's BC.
Hathor, like many other goddoms, was multifaceted and ambivalent. She could be benevolent and life-giving, but also wild, threatening and as ruthless as the blazing desert sun. Her benevolent sides could be manifested in her creatures like cow, or as a woman with a choir. She was the goddess of love, music and dance and those who wanted to cherish her did it through fragrant perfumes, incense, wine, music, dance and ecstasy.
She could also be conceived as a beautiful queen with a crown of cow horns and with the sun sheeting between the horns. The Hathor cult was mainly centered in the temple area of Dendera, on the west side of the north north of Thebes and the Hathor Temple in Dendera is one of the most well-preserved temples from ancient Egypt. Hathor was the divine mother of Pharaoh, and some of Pharaoh's many titles sounded "Son of Hathor". In the Hathor temples there were often herds of holy cows, whose milk was reserved for Pharaoh, as by drinking Hathor's divine milk had long life and great power.
