Must See; Unique and Personal Experience
Roy Geddes Steel Pan Museum的点评
点评：After finding this museum on Trip Advisor, it was my top priority to visit in Georgetown. Traveling in Guyana is very personal - individual humans go out of their way to create a beautiful experience for visitors and share their love of Guyana. This museum is one of the best ways to see and feel that. Roy Geddes is a treasure. At 85 years old, he is retired from touring the world with his band, the Silver Tones, and now dedicates his life and home to sharing his passion for steel pan music. He talked about the history of steel pan, particularly in Guyana, and he walked us through how steel pan drums are made and tuned. The heat treatment of the steel, and its coating in Ni or Cr, was especially interesting to me as a metallurgist - so we even talked a bit about my work and research. He played for us, then taught us how to play a few chords.
Roy Geddes and his wife, Pam, invest their time in maintaining and caring for their museum, home, and yard. The colors and art are no less vibrant today than in the photos here from several years ago - so despite the constant sun-bleaching and humidity, he keeps everything impeccably presentable. His thoughtfulness and care is reflected in the wrods of wisdom on his walls - which ring true no matter where in the world you come from. He believes that if everyone dedicates themselves to their passions, they will become better humans, more respectful citizens, and more educated about the world around them.
Do not miss this museum. It is endlessly more unique and personal than looking at city landmarks, and it probably won't be around forever. The practical:
* He charges $10 USD per person, and $15 for a Silver Tones CD. I feel this is a bargain because there's no "middle man", and you're directly supporting the person who is opening his home and heart to visitors.
* There is parking on the street if you have a rental car, but he'll also call a cab for you. Neighborhood reasonably safe.
* Unsure of the actual hours, we went on a Thursday around 3:30 pm (somewhere I saw a 5:00 "closing" time).

翻译：在 Trip Advisor 上找到这个博物馆后，我决定去乔治城参观。在圭亚那旅行是非常私人的事情——每个人都会不遗余力地为游客创造美好的体验，分享他们对圭亚那的热爱。这个博物馆是看到和感受这一点的最佳方式之一。Roy Geddes 是一笔财富。85 岁的他从与乐队 Silver Tones 的全球巡演中退休，现在将自己的一生和家庭奉献给分享他对钢鼓音乐的热爱。他谈到了钢鼓的历史，特别是在圭亚那的历史，并向我们介绍了钢鼓的制作和调音方法。作为一名冶金学家，我对钢的热处理及其镍或铬涂层特别感兴趣——所以我们甚至谈了一些我的工作和研究。他为我们演奏，然后教我们如何演奏几个和弦。
Roy Geddes 和他的妻子 Pam 花时间维护和照顾他们的博物馆、家和院子。如今，这里的色彩和艺术与几年前的照片一样鲜艳——因此，尽管阳光和潮湿不断侵蚀着这里，他还是把一切都打理得一尘不染。他的体贴和关怀体现在他墙上的智慧之言中——无论你来自世界何处，这些智慧之言都会产生共鸣。他相信，如果每个人都致力于自己的激情，他们就会成为更好的人、更有礼貌的公民，并更加了解周围的世界。
不要错过这个博物馆。它比看城市地标更加独特和个性化，而且它可能不会永远存在。实用：
* 他每人收费 10 美元，Silver Tones CD 收费 15 美元。我觉得这很划算，因为没有“中间人”，你直接支持向游客敞开家门和心扉的人。
* 如果你有租车，街上就有停车位，但他也会帮你叫出租车。附近相当安全。
* 不确定实际营业时间，我们是在周四下午 3:30 左右去的（我在某处看到“关门”时间是 5:00）。
