As the Cover song "Someone Like You" from Adele goes, the plan is to record it this Monday. During the progress of the Studio my family has been working on, the music room suddenly got switched up as well. Needless to say, we're putting it back together again, but the new layout is more efficient. The end is near!!! What should have taken a month has taken two, because of unforseen things that have popped up, and so forth, but it's all coming together :0)
Yesterday we picked up a Guitalele from layaway at Bert Murdock Music. What is a Guitalele? It's 1/4 the size of a guitar (they're so small when you compare the sizes) and is a cross between and guitar and a Ukalele. A Guitalele is played with nylon strings, so it's more similar to a classical guitar then a steal, and sounds similar to a lute. I love it!
Yamaha invented it back in 1997, so it's a really new instrument. The sound and tone of the Guitalele GL-1 is really nice. You have to rethink the chords (it's a Perfect 4th up from the Guitar, as if you're playing the guitar on the 5th fret, but it's not that bad). And it's perfect for my small hands . . . and it's only $100. Super great price for a great instrument.

Not the same, of course, but it's fun.
Have a great day!!
