In 1859 work began on building the [[Reid Concert Hall]], which now houses the oldest custom-built museum of musical instruments in the world.

The [[Reid Concert Hall]] originally housed the [[Reid School of Music]]. It was designed by [[David Cousin (1809-1878)]] according to acoustic specifications drawn up by [[John Davidson (d. 1865)]], Professor of Music, 1845-1865. Opening in 1860, the school consisted of a class-room with an attached museum and library. The class-rom was used for both teaching and recitals. The Reid School of Music moved into new premises at Alison House in 1964, but the Reid Concert Hall has remained in use both as a musical venue and as Museum, which now houses over 1,000 musical instruments.
