Collecting Musical instruments - Rück for instance

位于纽伦堡的德国国家博物馆（GNM）的吕克藏品成立于1880年，是德国私人拥有的最大的历史乐器收藏。从1929年起，该收藏创始人的儿子乌尔里希·吕克（Ulrich Rück）通过与1,022名合作伙伴的精确通信记录了几乎所有的活动。17，200封信件和明信片中的全面性和详细的文件将其归类为关于大萧条和所谓的经济奇迹之间的文物收藏起源的独特来源。与CA。1500件乐器和其他材料，这些信件由GNM于1962年购买。特别重要的是Rück与专家的交流。直到1943年，他在重要的收购之前，作为一项有偿服务，他询问了以脑炎为基础的音乐学家Georg Kinsky的建议。在柏林的乐器管理员阿道夫哈特曼关于质量和市场价格。这些文件与以下交易相关的信函一起，首次为1929年至1962年期间的历史乐器建立了价格表。这些信息将与有关收购情况和直接前所有人的研究结果一起在网上公布。将作为专著出版的进一步调查主题是使收藏成为欧洲网络一部分的收集、传播和营销战略。

The Rück collection in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg (GNM), founded in 1880 has been the largest German collection of historical musical instruments in private ownership. From 1929 onward, Ulrich Rück, son of the collection founder, documented virtually all activities in a painstakingly precise correspondence with 1,022 partners. The comprehensiveness and detailed documentation within the 17,200 letters and postcards classifies it as unique source about the genesis of a collection of cultural objects between the Great Depression and the so-called Economic Miracle. Together with ca. 1.500 musical instruments and further material, the correspondence was purchased by GNM in 1962. Of particular importance is Rück's exchange with experts. Up to 1943, he asked, as a paid service before important acquisitions, the advice of the Cologne-based musicologist Georg Kinsky resp. the musical instrument conservator Adolf Hartmann in Berlin about quality and market prices. Together with the letters concerning the following deal, these documents allow for the first time to establish a price list for historic musical instruments between 1929 and 1962. Together with research results about the acquisition circumstances and the immediate pre-owners, this information will be published on-line. Further subjects of investigation which will be published as a monograph are the strategies of collecting, communication and marketing that made the collection part of a European network.
