I'm not made of money...
...so apparently I need to slow down. After all of six or seven weeks of renting a 13/12 dulcimer, I upgraded and bought a very nice 16/15 with a good chunk of my tax return. This was SUPPOSED to hold me for a while, but NO! Apparently I'm moving along fast enough and -- just another month or so later -- Jody has commented at least twice now that I'll "be ready for an upgrade soon!"
At the very least, an instrument in that range starts around $1750, but with the progress I'm making I really should just go all out with the $2800 one. Like I have that just sitting around. Oy.
Do I have any gracious and well-off donors out there? Thought not! Fortunately Jody assures me that my current instrument should be ok for a good while yet at least. Time to start saving! I've never been very good at that...
