If you have any old band or orchestral instruments (i.e. flute, trumpet violin etc.) which you no longer need, want or is broken, I’d love to have them. These are not for the children to play, but to handle and explore

Instruments of cultures not already represented in our classroom. We have no instruments from India and could use 2 Native American Indian rattles.
