And I’ll bet your lil miss kept going back to the most expensive instrument in the place. In my experience, lil misses have an unerring instinct for that.
The purchse was to upgrade her to a professional grade so we all knew there would be sacrifices made. It was a blind test for sound quality only so there were no price tags. She was tops in the state and won every competition and could make that piece of wood sing so beautifully I would literally be in tears. Still, you’re partially right. It took us more years to pay it off than she played it. There’s a reason some eat their young.
