@timapple I worked in a school which hosted the local education authority’s music services storage - rooms full of instruments which were distributed to/from other schools in the area. One day they just seemed to decide to have a clear out, turned up with a rubbish container and started filling it. I hope that they were just getting rid of old instruments that were so worn and in a state that they really couldn’t be repaired and used. I had no way of judging that, but it doesn’t explain why all the instrument cases were trashed too…
