Being polite is nice ,
But Telling the truth saves money ,
The MusicMaker Kit is just way too expensive for what it really is .
This is as polite as I can be , on that subject .
Morris tunes with out the " chien " will be like drum without drumsticks

When buying (or thinking of) it's a good idea to ask here first.
The comments regarding these kits are generally unfavourable unless you
just want the fun of making something and you have the skill to do all the
rest of the work needed to get it playing (and the extra money).
It's likely it will cost the same as one from a maker by the time it's
playable (and needs a lot of time spent as well).
You will probably need an experienced player to actually set it up as well
or there is little chance of it being playable (at least by someone new to
HGs).
Have a look in the archives for the number of time the list has been asked
"should I buy a kit?" and the responses.
The answer is nearly always "NO" if you actually want to play it.
I'm sure other list members will add to this but, as you are new to the
list, the warning is appropriate, I think.
Yes, it's the doggy thing,

Nice kit. The price is good too considering the price of the
finished product. Is the trompette the "dog" thingy? (ok I'm a newby and
totally ignorant)
