Abstract
This review article describes the acquisition and installation of an organ in a scientific and educational medical institution. For the first time, an organ was installed at the Imperial Clinical Midwifery Institute in 1904. The beginning of the ХХ century was marked by the development of music therapy. This could not go unnoticed by the director of the institute D.O. Ott. Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in music therapy. This article touches on the history of the appearance and further fate of the Walcker organ, acquired for the Imperial Clinical Midwifery Institute. We herein discuss the issues of music therapy and its healing effects on patients.
