Kudel's Museum of Traditional Instruments

After nearly three decades of carefully collecting instruments from all over the country, Kudel says his research has really only just begun. He doesn't actually want instruments that are still being used by the communities he visits out of fear that taking them will contribute to traditions being lost. These are not instruments that can be bought at a big box store or ordered online. They're often made with natural materials using traditional methods and they take time to create.
