displaying your collection

[John]

Very impressive display of keris indeed Erik. Your collection has been one of those I've been secretly hoping to see and here we are even though it's only a glimpse of part of what you have. Thanks for sharing and wouldn't mind seeing more.

One must commend you guys for having good understanding wives for allowing displays even in family/public room/halls etc. I only have my private hi-fi room to play with and compromising some sound acoustics.

A room! You have your own room?
Actually it has been a long and delicate series of high level detante and negotiation that has allowed me to slowly spead my collection around the common spaces of my home and in general my wife has been very good about it. But i would actually prefer to have my own room for my collection since sometimes sharp and pointy delicate antique objects are not so good to have around during a party or when your friends want to bring their small children over.
Erik, i wasn't questioning the care of you blades as i am sure you keep them in very good order indeed. My own personal obsession, however, requires that i handle each and every blade at least every few weeks so i tend to keep them all at ground level reach.

Well, the room (15' x 24' x 10') was a dream come true specifically for room acoustics following years of interests in hi-fi. However my other half doesn't want anything sharp edged esp head hunting swords and keris in family areas so no choice; the music have to give some way to Bugis. Can't win them all.
