Taking into consideration the experience of the Museo del Paesaggio Sonoro in Riva presso Chieri (Turin, Italy), this article deals with the role of sound and music in a cultural environment, considering both the process of changing of traditional music and the issues of folk revival, in order to improve a sustaina- ble and non-nationalistic sense of belonging to a place and to raise awareness of the relevance of sound in human and non-human life. It also deals with the opportunity to join the existing digital networks of museums of musical in- struments, without affecting the museum’s distinctive features and those of the musical instruments it hosts.
