I wish they would use accordinas (plastic ones like the melodicas). Here is an example of accordina and guitar.

There are a few listed on this Reverb page. I'm not associated with any of them, just trying to be helpful. https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=pono&make=pono&product_type=folk-instruments

If that 1000 footer is in an apartment building, don't forget the laundry room, storage room, and other out of the way places where muscial noise won't bother anybody.

What do they call it when a person dies and comes back as a hillbilly?

I don't know if they still make them, but I have a (50-year-old) wound/wrapped high E classical guitar string (Ferrer 1 Me #116) from Gatto Negro. I think it was black when I bought it, but it is grey now. If they do still make them, it would be possible for someone who is so inclined to have a...

Here is a black string that has been around for a long time. Maybe the manufacturer can give you some information. https://www.gatonegro.com/producto/juego-cuerdas-gato-negro-nyl-negro-dorado/

When I was there the hardware store and the grocery store were the same store! Hardware store on one side and grocery store on the other.

I spent a few months in Molokai in the early 80s, about 30 miles east of Kaunakakai. Molokai was pretty undeveloped then. I wonder what it is like now.

It is a personal thing. Try both and see which you like better. P.S. If you weren't born there, what brought you to Molokai?
