Husband tried to get me a drum set for Christmas but the musical forces that be seemed to be against the idea. The first order he placed was from a place that was supposed to have real time inventory on their website. But after Christmas had come and gone and we still hadn't received it he canceled the order.
The next place he ordered from sent out two packages but only had tracking information for one of them. It also turns out the wrong address ended up on the packages. Husband discovered the error and called the music store to get it changed. They did a recall on the package they had a tracking number for. We ended up with box 2 of 2 from the set since UPS delivers to us regularly and changed the address on that box themselves. Box 2 of 2 was not very useful - it was full of mostly stands. The store couldn't send us just box 1 so we had to send them back box 2 and get a refund.
By this time we had decided that instead of building we were going to set up a small trailer caravan to live in. We can barely fit half of what we already own into a trailer caravan so we figured a smaller instrument would be better. So when we went into town on St. Patrick's Day I visited the Folk Music Shop and wandered around and around the store looking; waiting for something to catch my eye.
They had a lot of fun instruments but when I saw this one I was hooked. So now I'm learning the mandolin so we can sit around home and play music instead of always having to drive somewhere to amuse ourselves.
