I have Irish roots, and I have always loved Irish music. I have always been an artistic person, whether it was drawing, singing, designing houses, building, etc. I have become bored with a lot of things, and stressed out a lot lately, and I need a release that doesn't involve going back to drinking or drugs to fill my time. Music has always been a passion of mine in all of its forms, and I would love to have the chance to make my own music.
I have always wanted to play the Mandolin, but the problem has always been acquiring one, which is a pretty big hurdle. I'm still not working, so I still have no money to buy one, and the ones I have seen are pretty far out of being in my price range any time in the near future.
I can't seem to find anything on google to help me out, and I'm not entirely sure such a thing as free or cheap instruments even exists. I do know that a lot of you here are very smart, and I have learned in the short time I've been here that a lot of you know a lot about things I had never heard about, so I figured it was worth a shot.
I've tried craigslist, but it's useless for instruments. I have tried yard sales as well with no luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction if such a thing exists, it would be greatly appreciated.
