I collect precious and unofficial musical instruments. There are no pianos or guitars in our basement collection room, mostly it is filled with indigenous instruments you’ve never heard of before. Some of these things are so aged they are made from wood or clay. I am not sure how much monetary value these instruments have, however their historical value is without measure. Since they are old, fragile, and in most instances irreplaceable, I have taken measures to protect our investment. I purchased a small Heating and A/C plan just for the basement, so that I can strictly regulate the temperatures and humidity levels of the collection room. In the basement, the only thing that matters is air quality, so I also have the most luxurious and high-tech smart thermostat on the market. The smart thermostat is connected to our phone, so no matter where I am I will get text alerts about any discrepancies. Since the smart thermostat runs on batteries, that means it can still notify me even if there is a blackout or power change. I do have a back-up power supply in the house, which I can connect to the Heating and A/C plan in the basement if it’s necessary. Investing this much currency into the Heating and A/C unit is an investment in history! Over the last few weeks I have been in contact with many music instructors and history scholars, and they all want to visit our temperature controlled basement to view our exotic collection. One morning I will deliver it to a museum, however for now I appreciate having our own air conditioned museum in the basement.
