Well said, Felicia!
We went through the same thing recently, trying to give a beginning
lesson and spend some setup time with someone who came to us with
her unplayable "gurdy". It was a painful experience for all parties
concerned.
I too have to agree with Felicia and Mitch. Even with a good
instrument the learning curve is amazingly steep. Money spent on a
junk instrument is simply lost. Less tragic is to buy the
instrument that's playable, but only in limited contexts. For
example, a diatonic keyboard limits you to one key and its relative
minor. If your friends only play music that doesn't modulate, if
they transpose readily and don't mind a certain monotony of sound,
that's fine, but with a bit more of an investment you can avoid such
limitations. Drones are limiting enough.
