The Present

Today was about sleeping in, then buying something for Mrs CH.
She had tried one a year ago at a taster session and really enjoyed it.
Depending on skill level it can be a simple strum along instrument, the sort of level that most part time guitarists do. Then the more proficient can do amazing things with it, the sort of level that if it was a guitar they could earn a lot of money for.
In America the instrument is quite well known but in the UK there are probably still a lot of people who have no idea what it is.
My cat also has a thing for string in all its many forms.
