What a gorgeous instrument. I bet this would be so much fun to play.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

yea i had contacted him while it was still available but needed to transfer the funds ie sell my left kidney to get it and it was bought just before me......

Apparently he had been tying to sell it for a while of course when i find it and have the amount to purchase it it sells faster than a justin beiber cd

i dislike justin beiber very much
