I lusted after my first fiddle when I was about 10 years old. It wasn't a good fiddle but it was better than the school one I had been learning on so my parents bought me it. I have lusted after many other fiddles since and even managed to buy some of them.

Recently...well for about 5 years or so I lusted after an octave fiddle which I finally had the space on my credit cards....ermm...opportunity to buy!
