RE: Get them young (in reply to tele)

quote:
ORIGINAL: tele I bought a small nylon stringed guitar to my young cousin, but it was visible very soon it was waste of money, even though he wanted to play a lot. Unfortunately all of the guitars that I donated (six, plus one which a friend of mine presented to the daughter of my cousin) have been a waste, and some even pearl before swine, as valuable instruments were ruined in no time. After the last case with a classical guitar for children (man, would I had appreciated such as a kid!), she called me to ask what I could tell her about strats. I replied something in the way of: "Seeing how your passion with the classical guitar diminished in short time, I assume that you are thinking of the glory on stage instead of of the music. Don´t trouble your dad with the quest for a new guitar for matters of prestige." Anyway, in the future I shall think twice and make sure that the person be truley passionate in the first place. There is no support for the arts through wasting instruments. (Like with that Torres which got scraped as toy for a spoiled Argentinian girl.) During my education as a Wing Tsun teacher, we were reminded all the time to give no lessons (around 80 EUR per 45 min. at that time) for free, for people were just not able of appreciating things that come in for free. Remembering the maltreated instruments, I guess there being something to the idea indeed.
