All the instruments were looted and what remained of them were destroyed.
52 musical instruments from all of Sudan, including instruments that are more than 90 years old, collected from their original regions, and some instruments whose makers died.”

The workshop was also destroyed, and the machines and mechanisms were looted, and the losses are being counted.”
