At music last night, one man (One of those who says There is no such thing as having too many guitars!) said the problem with having one of those is the paranoia factor- you wouldn't dare take it with you to play, you wouldn't dare leave it home, you wouldn't dare let someone else come close to it...

Reminds me- I live in a house museum. Among the collection is an old Edison cylinder-record phonograph. A woman told me that her father had had one and agonized over the safety of the machine and finally donated it to a local museum. That same week, the museum was hit by a burglar; among the things they took was the phonograph.
