Behind every musical instrument in a pawn shop there is a sad story

@angel It's very true. I have direct experience with it. Ten years ago, I bought an antique instrument, perfectly preserved. When they brought it to my house, they told me the story of the person selling it. He was a collector and enthusiast who had become too old and had to sell the house where he kept them, moving into an apartment and therefore giving up almost all of his heirlooms. I know he was interested in them going only to people who would love them, and they kept that promise. I treat it well; it would certainly need more care to be used, but at least I make sure it is preserved in the right way.
