Thanks for the replies, folks! Casey - I never said DJ'ing isn't a musical art form. What I've heard in some clubs has been absolutely amazing! That said, I don't want to invest in that much equipment (or storage space) quite yet. I still have a Miraphone rotary valve tuba I want before I spoil the kids quite that much!
Vivec - The PS3 option is one I had not heard of before... and that might be because we've got a Wii, not a PS3. Jerry and LRS - Thanks for the brand recommendations! I'll have to look further into their longevity. I've heard of Ibanez before from other guitar players. Oh, and Jerry that electronic mute is a cool concept! I've seen them before and if my daughter is interested we might consider it for her birthday next year. We actually don't mind the sound of her practising. As for lessons, he's one that needs to have a warm body there with him. More expensive but it'll make the purchase worth it. Right now there are a number of places I know that have guitar lessons... in one case the wife wants to run an independent background check on the guy (he made her feel uncomfortable, something that's hard to do with my wife). The other is a middle school music teacher. One question that occurred to me after I sent this... should we start him on a rhythm/6 string and then add/move to the 4 string bass? One of the downsides that I have from playing tuba (and baritone and trombone in the past) is that I never learned how to read treble clef. He reads both bars now with his piano, I'm just concerned about pigeon-holing him into a bass only world in the future. Until Later! C.
