[TPIN] "Art" trumpet/lamp

[Ken]

I have come across a couple instruments (a trumpet and trombone) that 
were in no way repairable.  I had a person squash them with a 
roller/compactor. At the present time they are hanging on the wall of 
my office in my school's bandroom.  Every year I get asked what 
happened to the instruments.  And every year I say the same thing, 
"Nothing, they just play a little flat."
