What a shame these beautiful instruments were left to rot. Elephantine, gargantuan behemoths of the music realm, they were just too cumbersome to move.

Ooh, that would make these even harder to look at. I always wonder why the owner couldn’t just donate these to schools before they’re destroyed. Same with all the books in abandoned libraries. 😦
