Japan earthquake

[H La Rue <pitt@vax.ox.ac.uk>]

I don't know whether it would be of interest for members of the list to
have news of Japanese collections following the earthquake?

Sumi Gunji writes: "The Museum, of Musical instruments of Osaka College of
Music suffered great losses.  The ceiling of the exhibition room collapsed
and some instruments were badly damaged.  We (staff of the Kunitachi
institute) are now willing to help repair the instruments."
