NATIONAL MUSIC MUSEUM
AB OU T TH E NMM
Founded on the campus of The University of South Dakota on July 1, 1973,
the NMM is housed in a lovingly restored Carnegie library building, built in
1910.
The NMM is housed in a fully accessible, climate-controlled building, where
1,100 representative instruments are exhibited in nine galleries. There is a
concert hall for performing and recording on historical instruments, study
areas, a library, and a conservation laboratory.
The NMM's renowned collections of nearly 15,000 American, European, and
non-Western instruments are the most inclusive in the world, making the NMM
the premier institution of its kind. Included are many of the earliest, best preserved, and historically most important musical instruments known to survive.
State-of-the-art, self-guided multimedia tours allow visitors not only to see
and hear many of the instruments, but also to learn more about them through
curatorial commentary and videos. The NMM’s Musical Instrument Manufac-
turers Archive (MIMA) includes more than 18,000 trade catalogs, price lists,
periodicals, photographs, and related materials documenting more than
2,000 musical instrument manufacturers and distributors (with an emphasis on
American manufacturers) to support organological research and cataloging.
It is unparalleled elsewhere.
The NMM’s specialized research library includes more than 5,000 volumes,
as well as more than 20,000 periodical issues to support organological
research.
Open daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas,
and New Year's Day.

CHA IRMA N’S MESSAGE
Reflecting on this past year at the NMM, I am pleased to report one
important fact. The generous spirit of those individuals who support the
NMM continues to grow.
Earlier in the year, USD Alumnus Tom Brokaw narrated a video about the
National Music Museum. Developed by the creative people at Blue Fire
Design Group in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the video can be viewed on
YouTube. You will also find a link to the video on the NMM website,
www.nmmusd.org.
In May, NMM trustee and executive committee member Kevin
Schieffer purchased a special Amati violin, now on display at the
NMM. The King Henry IV Amati Violin (ca. 1595) was built and embellished to honor Henry IV of France. NMM Trustee Claire Givens and
Andrew Dipper, of Givens Violins, donated their time and expertise to
ensure the instrument transfer went smoothly. Mr. Schieffer purchased
the violin in honor of his son’s birth on May 4, 2010. The violin is on
display near the Rawlins Gallery.
None of these things could have been accomplished without the
generous support of our donors, trustees, members, staff, and
benefactors.
Soon, the NMM will embark on a capital improvement campaign.
With a collection closing in on 15,000 pieces, the NMM has outgrown
its current home. USD agreed to allow the NMM to expand into the
adjacent South Dakota Union building, which can be renovated into
additional museum and conservation space, with your financial
assistance. You can help us by renewing your membership or
encouraging someone you know to become a member.
Best Wishes,
South Dakota Governor M. Michael Rounds (left) with NMM Board
of Trustees Chair Brad Randall, M.D. (right) at the NMM in March
2010.

South Dakota Governor M. Michael Rounds toured the NMM for the first
time in March 2010, while donating a guitar that had been displayed in
the Governor’s Office. Played during the dedication of the South Dakota
Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Dedication, the guitar was autographed by
several performers, including the Beach Boys and members of Credence
Clearwater Revisited.

DIR EC TOR’S MESSAGE
The NMM was founded in 1973 in the former Carnegie library
building on the campus of The University of South Dakota as The
Shrine to Music with some 2,500 instruments and a vast collection of
printed material and related items collected over many decades by
my father, Arne B. Larson. The partnership between the NMM, Inc.
and the University of South Dakota remains strong and productive.
It has been my pleasure to serve as the founding director of the NMM
since its inception and I am grateful to the many donors, volunteers
and members who have contributed in so many ways to produce what
is the world’s most extensive collection of instruments and related
archives. Today, there are nearly 15,000 instruments in the various
NMM collections. I am also grateful to the staff of curators, students
and support personnel who have made such a contribution of their
energy and professional expertise to the success of the NMM.
Looking to the future, we are excited that The University of South
Dakota and the South Dakota Board of Regents will make a nearby
second building, the South Dakota Union, available for the use of the
NMM. This additional building with its 32,000 square feet and new
construction connecting the two buildings will enable the NMM to
expand its commitment to research, education, and public display of
its cultural treasures from around the world.
If you can’t visit us in person, please visit our website at
www.nmmusd.org. I encourage you to become a member and support
the NMM.

Since its founding in 1973, the NMM has become a leading institution of its
kind in the world and has outgrown its current 16,000 square foot Carnegie
building with professional staff working in the basement and many of its
15,000 precious instruments stored in temporary and less than ideal
conditions.
In response to this growing need, The University of South Dakota committed
the future use of the nearby South Dakota Union building for the museum
expansion. With 31,000 additional square feet, the Union building will
provide space for staff, new galleries, research and education, in addition to
proper storage, preservation and restoration areas. The NMM also anticipates construction of an additional structure linking the Carnegie and Union
buildings.
Planning for the new facilities is underway with the selection of the team of
Koch Hazard Architects of Sioux Falls and Schwartz/Silver Architects of
Boston as design consultants for the project. When the preliminary design
plan is completed, including cost estimates, the NMM will launch a fundraising

I look forward to directing the fundraising campaign and working with the

Acquisitions Fund. This
instrument,
although essentially identical in form to
the hammered dulcimers made in northern Europe, is of the type made in Italy
and Spain, intended to be played by
plucking directly with the fingers, or
sometimes with plectra worn as rings on
the fingers. Salvador Bofill was a
notable luthier in Barcelona, where he
was born in 1705 and died in 1771. He
made various stringed instruments
including violins and cellos, mandolins,
salterios, and at least one harpsichord.
The
painted decoration on the outer
case of the NMM’s salterio is notable,
especially in that it was signed and
dated by the artist, Diego Díaz y Valle,
in Cascante, 1772. This instrument, formerly in the Erich Lachmann Collection at
the University of California Los Angeles,
was acquired by the NMM when that
collection was dispersed at auction.
