Relationship of a musician with his instrument

I still can't get over this thing that happened a few years ago. I have so much respect for musical instruments and as long as I can have my instruments with me I will not sell them. 

I remember when we were moving houses and we couldn't take the piano with us. I thought we were gonna leave it in that house even if no one could play piano. Pianos are beautiful and it's a good furniture to have at home. Unfortunately someone hammered 

it and broke it into pieces. Unbelievable. I couldn't help my tears. To me it was very brutal and heartless. Very brutal indeed. Specially if you've already developed a relationship and some kind of special connection with the instrument, hearing this hurt me a lot. Some people don't understand how it is, how it feels to be in a musician's shoe.
