I was in the train at night, and during the day I was collecting the piano, sometimes I was abroad, and I hadn't eaten for two or three days (situation), eating naan and drinking some mineral water like that.
Because collecting these accordions is difficult, difficult.
I took these accordions, some from the cowpen, from the chicken coop, and some from the grass nest, I rescued them.
[Explanation] The number of collections continues to increase. Dao Wuran. Toshan Khan simply vacated his 140-square-meter house for these "babies", and his family lived in rented houses.

This piano is "high blood fat", this piano is "hypertension", and that piano is "paralyzed". I just joked to them just like that.
Because of what, these pianos have different diseases, and they are broken in different places.
I am very satisfied with some pianos (after repairing), the feeling it gives me, because what, I give it a kind of life, I repair it, and replace the reeds in it with the ones on the stage and in the party (Playing), many (fixed) pianos can be played now.
