I am not so sure of the country of origin of these instruments potentially belonging in a VANdalised HALL of infamity.
But they most likely are designed at the trilateral CHINPAIN Institute for Aesthetically Deceptive Creativity in Scrap Metal.
Wich PEKuliarINGly IS Located in A MAjorily BAD, but NEW DELI (the missing H certainly is aitching me).
Our revered BoarDowner might see himself as a non-agent for eBaying. But in that hinsight he is by far obsoleted by these Genghis Khan-like hordes of worthless instruments stampeding all over the auction pages.
After a train mishap a decade ago my worst, and very infrequent, nightmare is imagining the bell of my beloved Conn 28D horn crumbling like aluminium foil (it only got a wrinkle in the real life episode).
But had I still being teaching, I guess my bad dreams would be centering in on the problems arising from parents and school systems wanting investments being limited to literal CHINPAIN-type of instruments.
