Musical instrument?

I have a number if unusual instruments in the house and was sorely tempted to add this to my collection. I refrained this time, but H's trumpet is in for a service and I have to go back next week. I may not have the same restraint the second time round. Hehe.

They also had the more traditional looking old fashioned ones too, so if i bought it and the washing machine ever breaks down I wouldn't be stuck. Dual purpose, it's more tempting now.
