that purchase.>>
 
So true, I was brought up in a house with a Bechstein grand piano and  a 
Robert Morley concert Harpsichord... The piano was my mothers (she was an  opera 
singer) the harsichord belonged to my sister, she was a concert pianist  and 
harpsichordist. I did not at that time relise how lucky I was!
 
I never mastered the keyboard, despite having world class instruments  
available to me.
 
A good instrument does NOT make a good musician.
However, a good musician will always obtain a good instrument!
I'm just a harmonica player.
