The SMEM Playroom allows folk to come and play on some of the rare and legendary instruments of the SMEM collection. The 4-hour sessions are the opportunity for both newbies and pros to use some rare and inaccessible instruments, learn how they work and even record the result using the sound cards provided. A qualified member of the SMEM team will always be there to supervise the sessions and will make sure everything goes well, by providing suggestions, advice and help if needed. During the Playroom Session, you will have the possibility to visit the SMEM's iconic collection with a guided tour of about one hour. The tour offers great insights in some famous pieces of the collection and its history. It is also possible to stay in the Playroom during the visit if you prefer to have the full four hours to play on the instruments, or have already visited the collection. It’s recommended to bring your own set of headphones with you, as well as a USB-compatible recording device / personal computer if you wish to record your productions. The Playroom is located at Blue Factory (Passage du Cardinal, 1700 Fribourg). After passing the main entrance, turn right. After 50 meters, you will find a red garage on your right. This is the Playroom. For further questions, please contact us at: contact@smemmusic.ch
