[sdiy] re; injustice put to good use

[cheater cheater]

I think one good idea to do with organs, pianos, and other instruments
is to put a sticker on the back, or generally somewhere where it won't
be seen normally unless you're just about to move it out, that says
something to the effect of "If you want to get rid of this musical
instrument, please call 555-MUSICDONOR"

Cheers,
D.
