Have an ear for musical instruments? Use your talent to tag all the instruments you hear in the musical recordings of the Europeana Sounds collections! There are so many historical music recordings in our archives that we just can not describe all the instruments by ourselves. So that’s why we kindly ask your help to tag our beloved music collections with all the instruments that you can hear in a song. The music in Europeana Sounds range from beautiful folk music from Greece to Scandinavian improvised space rock all the way to the sounds coming from Tibetian monastries.

2. Login to the WITH platform to listen to the first of 10 random songs.
