Thread Name: Your instruments' fate after you die
Subject: RE: Your instruments' fate after you die
I love the idea of a hands on retirement village - one of my favorite and most hated galleries in the Victoria and Albert museum, or indeed any museum, is the musical instrument section. All those poor, dead instruments locked up behind glass, never able to speak again. An instrument, if it is playable, should be played, at least once a year, just to keep it alive.

Mind you, how many melodeons can you have in one place without that place undergoing some major implosion or a black hole forming?
