The funds came from my wallet. I went in for some new strings and they had the halo there for $9. It would have been irresponsible for me not to buy it.
I have never considered oboe.
All my life people have been telling me to pick an instrument and stick with it. I never have. So far in my life, I have played the following on stage: trumpet, slide and valve trombones, baritone, tuba, upright bass, electric bass, bongos and conga. I've also sung on stage, though that was a particularly ill-fated adventure. Around campfires I've played guitar, harmonica, and sung. I had a mandolin handed to me one time to see what I could do with it and thought it was a blast despite the odd noises I caused it to make. When no one else has been around, I've diddled around with an autoharp, fiddle, and wooden flute. I even work with my kids on our piano, though I only know it from what little I know of theory. But it's all laid out so nice and easy to see on a piano keyboard, that makes things nice.
I don't think I'm ever going to settle down to just one instrument. But this will be my first ever opportunity to play two instruments at once. It's going to take getting my pucker back into shape.
