If you can still get into Montlucon they had hundreds of wonderful instruments 
"in the back" which anyone who had a valid reason could examine or play. I feel 
very privileged that when I was learning I was allowed to play one or two. As 
pipe makers we had a session playing with the curator and I think receptionist. 
It is a bit of heaven.    JON

It seems that museums world wide have a similar situation, conserve but 
no laying on of hands! You must have been lucky or blessed Mike to have 
had that opportunity.It is sad that instruments that are created to be 
played and  heard, are  condemend to be gazed at and left silent.
