My previous bass guitar had one of its machine heads snap off, and I had rehearsal that same day, so I looked online at the used instrument stock at local music stores and found a bass guitar used that was a very unique, discontinued model that I'd been essentially dreaming of for a while, and happened to be there.
What I probably should've done is replaced the machine head, which would've been a very quick and cheap fix, but I instead bought the new bass and then took it to use at rehearsal. Now it's my daily driver and I'm very glad I got it.
Edit: I fucked up and fixed the comment, somehow it double posted instead of just editing.
Musicians curse.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist and I now have 3 guitars, a bass, a banjo, two ukuleles, a sousaphone, trombone, trumpet, soprano trombone, bugle, clarinet, tenor sax, Roland keyboard, melodica, cajone, stylophone, otamatone, ocarina, concertina, and a recorder. My goal is 50 instruments by the time I'm 50.
I have a problem.
If you can play sousaphone and other various brass, you might be able to pick up the didgeridoo. The embechure is kind of similar (see also: alphorn). It's the circular breathing I'm still trying to get the hang of.
And a I picked up a hand pan drum last month for giggles. It has a lovely tone.
Edit: I'm a shameless enabler.
RIP my bank account
I have a similar problem, but what is worse, most of them I can't really claim to "play", I've just kind of fooled around with them.
