Instruments
Lindley has an extremely large collection of rare, and to the majority of Westerners, unusual looking and sounding instruments. There is a large and detailed display of quite a few rare guitars, as well as instruments that originate from the Middle East and other parts of the world. Lindley has listed and categorized many of them on his website but admits that he has "absolutely no idea" how many instruments he owns and plays, having gathered them since the 1960s.

And by that music let us all embrace,
For, heaven to earth, some of us never shall
A second time do such a courtesy.”

How soon they find fit instruments of ill!”
