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."

I love it!  I also have a friend who did that with some instruments  and they 
are in the music room in his home.  I totally agree that if an  instrument 
isn't really repairable, that ANY kind of artwork that it is made  into, is much 
preferable to just throwing it away.  And I also agree that  the instruments 
on the walls of restaurants DO at least keep the vision of music  accessible 
to the patrons.
