Between 1923 and 1933 he undertook more than nine expeditions as well as many shorter excursions around South Africa. He was hosted by local chiefs and taught to play the instruments he encountered. He managed to purchase many of them, and this collection, now known as the Kirby Collection, is housed at the South African College of Music, University of Cape Town. First published as Musical Instruments of the Native Races of South Africa in 1934, the book was the culmination of research trips undertaken by Percival Kirby. It became the standard reference on indigenous South African musical instruments. The bulk of the material is concerned with detailed information on the making and playing of each instrument, and is accompanied by a large number of musical examples. This third edition contains an introduction by Mike Nixon, Head of the Ethnomusicology and African Music at the South African College of Music, and new reproductions of the valuable historic photographs, but leaves Kirby's original text unchanged. 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zSouth Africa$vMusic 606 $aBlack people$zSouth Africa$vMusic 606 $aSan (African people)$vMusic 606 $aMusical instruments$zSouth Africa 606 $aMusical instruments$zSouth Africa$vPictorial works 615 0$aIndigenous peoples 615 0$aBlack people 615 0$aSan (African people) 615 0$aMusical instruments 615 0$aMusical instruments 676 $a784.1968 686 $aLS 46800$2rvk 700 $aKirby$b Percival R$g(Percival Robson),$f1887-1970,$0445594 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797264903321 996 $aMusical instruments of the Indigenous people of South Africa$93783550 997 $aUNINA
