Yes, and I have an ancient violin, a snake charmer's thing from Morocco etc etc

Got some wonderful scrapey instruments from India / Nepal

A long time ago I went travelling and decided to buy an indiginous musical instrument from each country I went to

And then I was always fond of beaten up brass instruments

Used to have a lovely ols Victorian cornet but one of my sons aged about 3 decided to see how many glass marbles he could force down the bell and it somewhat lost its tone...

Probably not. The event will be held on a Sunday, so instead of band parade people will be able to watch the band rehearsing for Beating Retreat.
