So recently I have been trying to sell my Strunal 1/4 size classical guitar. Times have been rough lately for me and my family, but honestly I feel like someone who would buy it would probably play it once and a while and let it sit as it has in its life with me. I used to use it a lot for transposition guitar songs and such..
Really this is a great instrument and it deserves to be played by someone who will appreciate it. Something my mom said the other day gave me this idea.
First a little background information about myself and my family: I'm 25 with 3 sons 4 yrs, 2yrs, and 1yr old (yikes I know) I'm engaged to their mother. Last year I got laid off from my full-time job and was only able to find pt work and a strong love for the ukulele. My mother and her husband are fairly well to do, and I have younger siblings who are still in grade school who live with her and are spoiled brats. My parents help out with babysitting about once a week with my sons but we've never asked them for help financially or anything (I'm a pretty prideful person) Recently, because my Mom knows times are tough for us she bought us a bunch of diapers ostensibly so she could have them at her house when they came over but she bought the giganto box and took 5 diapers out and gave us the rest. When I told her I felt bad about taking it she told me it always makes her feel the best when she can help us out because we are so appreciative. She could have spent 2x that amount on buying my brother a new video game that he would just take for granted.
So anyways I think this is the best way for my instrument that I love to find a new home!! I got this crazy idea to hold a contest to give away my guitalele! Here are the important parts:
-This is not a contest to win a guitalele. The winner of the contest will help me give away the guitalele to someone who is deserving.
-you must submit who you think should recieve, and why. It could be a deserving forum member, or someone you know IRL
-Due to my financial situation I just ask that whoever wins pays for the shipping to who they want to give it to.
-Do not nominate yourself It just won't happen!
-Please post your submissions here on the thread
-Entries must be submitted by October 14th
-The winner will be announced no later that October 16th
Feel free to post whatever your opinions of who should win and what you think of everyones elses submissions. I think it goes without saying, but please do not lie just to get a free instrument! Lets keep the spirit behind this positive so there is plenty of good karma for everyone!
Good Luck!
