Halsway Manor
Thanks for getting your username changed to comply. I'm not sure how entries in the Category:Musical instrument museums are defined but I have added Herschel Museum of Astronomy as it has a music room with "a single action pedal harp, commissioned by Mademoiselle Henriette Peyrot-Magenest in 1795,[29] made by George Cousineau and son Jacques-Georges Cousineau,[30] and purchased by the museum in 2012. The harp is carved and decorated in Rococo style with scrolling leaves, flowers and garlands, and a soundboard decorated with classical arabesques.[29]". Would you also include Halsway Manor which, while not a museum in a traditional sense does have a collection and is "a charity to promote participation in the folk arts — traditional folk music, dance, song, storytelling, folklore and related arts and crafts — through a year-round programme of residential courses, classes, events and activities for people of all ages and abilities."?&mdash; Rod talk 13:48, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Absolutely, thanks Rod. The project is a GLAM/cultural heritage project aiming to expand knowledge of musical instrument collections around the UK, many of which are held in larger museums, or are small collections of important items in various venues. Please do see my profile for further info, and would also be grateful for any further info on Halsway Manor, off Wiki, if you have it. Richard at MINIM-UK (talk) 14:23, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't have anything else on Halsway Manor which insn't included or in one of the references used in the article. Having now looked at the MINIM web site, I would just ask if you have spoken to people at WikiMedia UK who have collaborated with various GLAM projects to mutual benefit and may well include volunteer experts in your speciality/geography? Your standards for cataloguing instruments & possibly digitisation standards may also link with wikidata (but some of the technical aspects of this are beyond me).&mdash; Rod talk 14:31, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
