    My instrument collection

    I never really thought of myself as a collector, until yesterday when I decided to register all instruments I had lying around in my tiny home. I was a little bit shocked to discover I had 31 of them, more or less playable...

    I put them in an app called "MyCollections" to keep track of them. It also gives the possibility to share your collection publicly. Here is mine:

    https://mycollections.altova.com/run...D-322C8BB1B552

    (It only shows items with pictures, so my 2017 Wessex Festivo Euphonium is missing as I did not yet take a pic of it)

    I'm not sure how many horns you have to have to be called "a collector" but I suspect you qualify!

    I wanted to give my collection their own website, apart from the app, so I made this: https://mlmonne.wixsite.com/retired-brass
