Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Well that’s the thing. I don’t want to spend a pile of money for an actual musical instrument, because it’s not going to be for lessons or anything, but I also don’t want a disappointing pile of junk.
Thanks for the Amazon suggestion. Maybe something like this? It says it comes with a music sheet for simple songs for kids to play, that sounds promising?
That looks like it’s coming from Amazon UK according to the “Sold by” and “Ships from” section, so may take longer.
The two top review from Aus aren’t promising lol:
Ah man, I didn’t read those bits.
I had a look at a music shop and I’m not sure I want to encourage this hobby 😆
Most brass instruments aren’t cheap! It’s why my parents were smart enough to rent the saxophone when I was in high school because they knew I wouldn’t stick with it 😅I think trumpets are also really loud when learning to play, RIP your neighbours ears 😂
The average orchestra must be worth more than the average house!
Now I have to work out how to fulfil the wish for a trumpet while not encouraging it too much 😆. Maybe the cheap plastic ones are the right path.
