There's a magical, hidden musical warehouse-museum in Chicago, filled with thousands of strange and esoteric instruments, both new and old, ancient and modern, from around the globe. Some are for sale, some are museum pieces.

===NOTES===
• I will play the LARGEST GONG made - an 80inch-round monster Symphonic gong; it is very rare and very expensive ($32,600)! Plus I'll play other gongs and monochards and more.
• No food or alcohol; bottles with secure lids are welcome.
• The carpeting is comfy and plush; some yoga mats, cushions, pillows, bakjaks, and chairs will be provided.
• Bring your fave blanket/pillow if you want.
• Wear comfy odor-free / clean clothes and socks, please.
