The museum is based in an historic building with the help of the late C\u00e9sar Manrique, (inevitably, as the island of Lanzarote remains loyal to the artist\u00b4s aesthetics and ethics). The house is worth visiting in itself, but inside you will find all sorts of stringed instruments similar to the ukelele. There is a video room with a documentary and examples of the instrument being played and we were pleased we stopped here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department for <strong>c<\/strong>entres of art culture and tourism (c.a.c.t.) actually says of the timple museum that <strong><em>this space is dedicated to the music and traditional culture of the canary islands, with the timple as its main protagonist, a small string instrument that is one of the most deeply rooted sound symbols in the entire archipelago.&nbsp;The villa de Teguise, through its artisans, played a fundamental role for the timple to spread throughout the rest of the islands, becoming not only a spokesperson for island identity, but also an element of contact with other cultures and developments and aesthetics that combine tradition with modernity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Timple Museum project contemplates a space dedicated to the history of the municipality;&nbsp;a room dedicated to the antecedents of the timple, and is also the location of pieces by artisans from Teguise and Lanzarote, completed with timples from artisans from all the islands.&nbsp;Another unit houses the instruments of the world that are related to our instrument, a space that due to its dimensions, as well as its excellent acoustics, serves as a small-format concert hall.&nbsp;a third room is dedicated to the latest generation timples that incorporate new technologies.&nbsp;There is also a section dedicated to the construction process, recreating a craft workshop.&nbsp;the project includes a media room, an outdoor function space and a shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CDT_logo02-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13442\" width=\"191\" height=\"105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CDT_logo02-1.png 182w, https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/CDT_logo02-1-180x100.png 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Timple House-Museum is a space that combines the functions of museum, study centre and cultural space, with the aim of disseminating, conserving and studying the traditional culture of the Canary Islands, having as its central axis what becomes one of the most representative musical instruments of the archipelago.\u00a0Directed by the timplista Benito Cabrera, this centre was created by the General Directorate for Cooperation and Cultural Heritage of the Government of the Canary Islands, and is managed by the Villa de Teguise City Council.\u00a0The museum presents, as a central element, a wide collection of timples, as well as instruments from other countries that give dimension to the use of this type of small guitar by many cultures from different parts of the planet.\u00a0In addition, the visitor will be able to learn about the folklore of Teguise,\u00a0contemplate the phases of the construction process of the timple, as well as enjoy various audio-visual elements within the framework of a patrimonial environment of great architectural interest.\u00a0The Timple House-Museum also offers a series of programmed activities such as concerts, courses, talks, etc.\u00a0Located in the Palacio de Sp\u00ednola, in Villa de Teguise, it complements the offer of one of the oldest municipalities with the greatest monumental value in the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/download-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13443\" width=\"424\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/download-1.jpg 317w, https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/download-1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been fortunate enough to attend scores of concerts at this wonderful museum, and in the tiny theatre rooms it is almost possible to hear that time<em> before music<\/em>, that Annette Bay Pimental refers to in her book of that title, \u00a0so wondrous is the sound emerging from the elegant timple instruments\u00a0 that actually look quite like small ukuleles. The instrument sounds heavenly when either picked or strummed, and whether a solo instrument or in a multiple performance the timple lends itself to support individual or choral singing of the folk lore of the island. I have also heard the instrument played by some of the several maestros we have here on Lanzarote, in string sections that include bass, guitar and mandolin for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I first began performing in folk clubs in the UK in the seventies when Yamahas, and occasionally Martin Ovation guitars, were all we heard and so long as those instruments could play \u00b4three chords and the truth\u00b4 I never really bothered about who had invented them, who had first \u00b4heard\u00b4 a sound and built an instrument that could re-create what had been heard. Despite an excellent guitar-maker called George Butterworth who lived on our folk scene hinterland and was himself an excellent musician who enthused both about music and the history and building of instruments, I stoically refused to heed a call from a time before music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To visit the timple museum, though, is somehow to be transported back to a time that one author has called Before Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/we\u00b4re-gonna-need-a-bigger-shelf.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13444\" width=\"262\" height=\"230\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>we\u00b4re gonna need a bigger bookshelf for book 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From award-winning author Annette Bay Pimentel comes an oversize nonfiction picture book exploring how music and musical instruments are made&#8211;across time and around the world<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Music doesn&#8217;t come out of nothing.<\/em><br><em>It always starts somewhere . . .<\/em><br><em>with something . . .<\/em><br><em>with someone<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover how music is made in this survey of musical instruments from around the world.
