I'm interested in the pandeiro with the flag.
OK Paul I'll find out the price. I have that one here in Brisbane already!
Sounds like a great opportunity!
Here’s for an idea... Why don’t we use the benefits from our gigs to buy some instruments in the name of the school? People could borrow them freely without having to borrow your instruments Remko. (I’m not sure whether all the current instruments belong to you or to the school?).
It would be more flexible and help people who are not able to buy instruments personally to improve much faster. It would also be a great incentive to find more gigs :-)

Up there for thinking, Cedric!
Good Idea!!
Good idea indeed. In fact this is what is what has been happening for the last few years. But none of the instruments for sale would be useful as we have enough of these already.
I still think it would be good for people to own their instrument though, where possible. Quite a few have done this already which is great.
Great!! I didn't realise we had a proper school structure with some instruments as assets!!
Does this mean that if you moved overseas or got kidnapped by aliens, instruments would remain within the school structure?
Obviously, if aliens kidnapped Remko, they would make sure they took the instruments as well, or you can't handle the guy. Besides, he's Dutch, and hence too tight-arsed for an anal probe
{actually yes, I do make these things up as I'm typing them)
There could be like a little chart totaliser showing how close the group is to some goal on the blog like the voting thingy, bye the way hi from Chonburi! I got to bang a humungus temple drum yesterday, it was bigger than Remko's car but need a little more tension on the top skin I felt any way felt good to have a beater in hand again!
