The two music historians Deirdre Loughridge and Thomas Patteson have invited us to join them on a tour of their Museum of Imaginary Musical Instruments that explore the wonderful history of made-up musical contraptions, including a piano comprised of yelping cats and Francis Bacon's 17th-century vision of experimental sound manipulation.
