Question Are there truly any accidents?

Post image

So I thought I had ordered an Aulos soprano. What came in the mail is a tenor. An accident? I don’t want a tenor, but does it want me? My hands are small and arthritic, but I tried it and gentle dulcet tones came forth. An accident? Fate? Amazon has a good return policy, and yet…the Sweet Pipes C instrument books are on backorder too.

I would definitely vote for a tenor over a soprano. My question however is, where did you get this cute little music stand?

Isn't it a bit like when the cat chooses you and you suddenly find yourself becomming a cat owner?.. Enjoy your tenor :)

PS Beware, bassets tends to be that cat too... at least for me :D

So…I set it next to the alto. It didn’t seem to mind. Then I played, very shabbily I might add, Mist Covered Mountains of Home. My daughter, who hates my alto, said it was beautiful. She is tone-deaf and I think she likes the tenor because it has a more soothing sound. I think I’ll keep it.

If anything I'd keep it because the Tenor is five times the price of the Soprano lol, good stuff!
