11th day of Xmas

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,

eleven pipers piping,

ten lords-a-leaping

nine ladies dancing,

eight maids-a-milking,

seven swans-a-swimming,

six geese-a-laying,

five golden rings,

four calling birds,

three french hens,

two turtle doves,

and a partridge in a pear tree.

Antique instruments are becoming popular for use as objects of decoration in the home. They are great for someone who might have once played an instrument as a child and wants to display something that is personal but can still be admired by those not aware of the personal attributes of the object.
