Thread Name: Justifying Multiple Guitars
Subject: RE: Justifying Multiple Guitars
I'm 17, and I own 1 acoustic guitar, 1 keyboard (that I can't really play, but is an expensive piece), 2 clarinets (my beloved first instrument, and a performance instrument--hopefully I'll be getting a G-tuned Clarinet soon), a beautiful hand-made whistle, a cheap fife, a pennywhistle, a wooden flute of some kind (?), and probably a couple other miscelaneous instruments that I can't think of off the top of my head. I'm also planning on buying a bodhran and a cittern when I get enough money. At least you've limited your syndrome to guitars--if I had more money (or didn't need my car), I'd have even more instruments that I can't play. I do believe that there is just something about musical instruments that is fascinating to some people. I just like to look at them and hold them and sleep with them (like stuffed animals). . . I also have the same problem with art supplies, although I can use most art stuff, while the only instrument that I'm truly proficient on is the clarinet. Hey, it happens. You should just enjoy your music as long as it isn't interfering with the rest of your finances. . .
