Curves and Inspiration

Each instrument, particularly unique or crafted-with-love instruments, inspire their own music when you pick them up and start to play. 

It has always been a gauge for me to know if a union is 'meant to be' - the spontaneous sounds that present in those first minutes or hours between me and the creature in my hands. 

In fact, there have been significant unplanned dollars spent when the calling is undeniable. Like the time I walked into the music store to buy guitar strings and walked out with those guitar strings, plus my beautiful nylon-string classical guitar... about two hours later. Two hours of drifting through melodies and resonances, oblivious to everyone else in the room.

Oh, I'd love to play the harp guitar seen in this photograph!  

Might need someone to tune it up for me, though...
