Lozz196 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Well Iāve 2 items on the way but in my defence I did purchase them in 2020. Iāll see how it goes, have bucketloads to sell and hopefully have established the right gear for my needs now so letās see if I can at least last a while without buying.

TheGreek Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 No point in me playing - no chance of sticking to it. I was doing alright till earlier today - impulse bought a Tongue drum which was advertised at Ā£26 but climbed to Ā£32 with VAT. Bought a couple of extra sets of strings late last year which came with .130 low B which I'll need to replace with .115s at some point - I'll try to delay this but Newtone can do them for just over Ā£7 - inevitable that I'll cave in.
