Hi Leon,

A musician in the make, God bless her Freya I'm sure she got a nice tone out of that gorgeous Tasos.. May it brings happiness to you and the family.

best regards,

Awad

Hi Kladriel

Kids are the best - our Freya is actually a good drummer (she's 9 now) and my younger daughter, Anya is 7 and beginning to play piano. Thing is I don't push them too much, but always encourage them which is different, there are quite a few instruments in our house, I play guitar also and wether they carry on or not it needs to be their own thing. Also they change from one to another so quickly, so starting on one instrument may well lead to another.

I love them to bits, this is a great age - enjoy yours, I'm sure Nice will flourish.
