I do not own even one guitar either. However I do own many recorders, a handful of them exceedingly expensive, many whistles in many keys (I have lost count of how many), a mandolin, an Irish bouzouki, an electronic keyboard, and a hammered dulcimer. I have the disease and have it bad. At least the playing skills can be used on each instrument when you stick to one kind of instrument or at least to one family of instruments. My wife is no help in curbing the disease because she has it also. When we are out together, especially on holidays, we bring out the worst acquisition desires in each other. So here is comfort for you Michael: there is always someone worse off than you! We do not fight: we just stay broke.
