Channel the magic and mystery of childhood with this unique collection of vintage children’s instruments.

The second part of our interview with Richard Harvey covers a range of topics including the history of children's instruments, the importance of musical education, and how Hanz Zimmer repurposed a 16th-century lute tune for a famous composition of his.

Produced in collaboration with composer and multi-instrumentalist Richard Harvey, Abacus offers a diverse array of lovingly sampled vintage children’s instruments from the early 19th century to the 1980s. With almost one hundred instruments selected from Richard’s personal collection, Abacus provides composers with an authentically nostalgic toolkit, perfect for fantasy, adventure, mystery, horror, storytelling, gothic, animation, historic, educational, or family-centric television advertising.
