(Red Violin not available in my town, I already tried)
Neither of my children have shown any interest in instruments. One is 21, the other 15 so I don't think there is hope. At least Kate sings. I can't imagine burying a decent fiddle.........

I think I will probably give them away when I can't play anymore, and if I go too suddenly to do that, my family has instructions to donate them to a school, etc.

My books, esp. the Celtic research collection and tune collections are going to the local library to shelve or sell as they see fit. No one at my house is interested in them.

Good thread, Marion. Maybe we will all get some good ideas out of it.
