Rodger Mirrey (1919–2007)[1] grew up in County Durham. In the 1950s, he began collecting square pianos. While studying for the Diploma In Psychological Medicine in 1958, he added harpsichords, clavichords, and fortepianos to his collection.[2]
Mirrey met his wife Lynne while pursuing a career in psychiatry.[1]
In 2005, Rodger Mirrey and his wife Lynne donated their collection of 23 keyboard instruments to the University of Edinburgh’s Musical Instrument Collection which is now housed in St Cecilia’s Hall, Scotland’s oldest purpose-built concert hall, alongside the Raymond Russell Collection of Early Keyboard instruments. The Rodger Mirrey Collection includes important examples such as early clavichords, 16th- and 17th-century Italian harpsichords, and early eighteenth-century British harpsichords, all of which are now rare.[3]
