depicting musical instruments? Is there something special about these two typefaces?

I looked them up and they are both beautiful. I do like the serif face.

Can this be easily accessed on a Mac? My daughter is my designer and she uses the Mac often, but not exclusively.

I am putting this is Google Publish, btw...
