[Jared Katz @katzinthemuseum]

@JamesDoyleMet @Majora__Z Thanks for the shout out, James! There are a significant number of ancient musicical instruments that remain intact today and many artistic depictions of musicians that survive. If you can make it to Denver, my exhibition, Rhythm and Ritual, explores exactly that topic!

[Jared Katz @katzinthemuseum]

@Lin_Manuel I’m curating a show @MuseoDenver called #rhythmandritual celebrating music of the ancient Americas. I made playable 3D printed replicas of the ancient instruments. If I send you some 3D printed ancient Instruments, will you send me a recording of you playing them?

[Jared Katz @katzinthemuseum]

@CPRNews @EstebanHRZ @Denverite If I send you some of the 3D prints, would you play them on the radio to promote the show? #RhythmandRitual #MuseoXDAM

[Jared Katz @katzinthemuseum]

I’m sure we can make that happen. #rhythmandritual #MuseoXDAM

[CPR News @CPRNews]

Technically, they're replica instruments, but that shouldn't stop you from trying to play "The Longest Time" https://t.co/KiUX8qcHg6 via @EstebanHRZ / @Denverite
