Some people collect cats and dogs, and some get odder items sent their way.

This was headed to the landfill, so like the fool I am I told him to load it up and I'd take care of it.

The wood case has some neat detail but it is dry and sunburnt.

The pin block has some loose pins, and therein lies the reason he didn't want to dink with it.

What a beautiful instrument! Too bad about the loose pins, but it sounds like you have an idea of what to do about it.
