Hey Pedrom, I'm a student too, I had the same problem when I started playing. I decided to go to Over the Water Hurdy Gurdy festival. That way, I could make sure that I wanted to actually play the instrument and spend the coin. I didn't want to get one finally, and then end up hating it. Well, when I went, I fell completely in love, and I haven't looked back. I borrowed money from my parents to buy mine (traded a year abroad, and changed my emphasis in school). When you're a student, it's hard to afford this stuff, but if you like the instrument, every penny you spend on a nice instrument is worth it.
on the side: what are you going to school for? Best, and Merry Christmas. Michael Opp 2009/12/25 Pedrom Adeli <[email protected]> > Hiya! > I'm from Santa Barbara, California, US.
