Topic: Zibling has her guitar

She kept commenting about how beautiful it is.  It's a beat up rosewood topped Yamaha classical full-size student guitar.  Probably worth about $20.  The strings and books I gave her were worth far more than the guitar monetarily - but she kept carressing it.  If she is still as adept at learning new instruments as she was in our youth, she'll be teaching King Russell of the Mutants within a month.

Re: Zibling has her guitar

I agree Deadstring!!!!!

Zurf is this guitar a piece or just worn? Hopefully it won't hinder/discourage her from learning. That first month is the determiner.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Zibling has her guitar

It still sounds fine.  The action is high, as it is on almost all classical guitars, but it has a nice sound and is playable.

Re: Zibling has her guitar

Was this a Christmas gift Zurf? It sounds like we all will be getting lessons with her talent. Get her to sign on
  to Chordie soon.

Re: Zibling has her guitar

How nice to be able to put a big smile on your sisters face... especially when it doesn't cost much.  The thought clearly means far more to her than you even imagined.  GREAT!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
