I'm not really a collector, my wife is.

LOL - I never minded the sound, just hated the lessons. Was forced to take lessons for two years when I was barely big enough to lug the darn thing around the corner to my teacher's house. Nothing worse than hearing your friends outside playing shinny and you're stuck in your room plunking away on a 'stomach Steinway'

ROFLMAO - good thing I wasn't sipping my coffee when I read that!

My wife collects as I mentioned. She collects pottery. Since getting ill in 2014 she started selling some of her collection off but we still have tons in the house. Mostly 100+ year old stuff. She has a pile of lamps (electric, not oil) some of which are extremely beautiful and could easily be rewired. If you ever get the urge to start collecting 100 year old lamps, PM me!
