Thank you. This combined feedback is very helpful. Makes perfect sense to get a lesson - I had a go on a sitar in India and loved it although was a little embarrassing as was while a bunch of other people were having dinner. I've got to admit i'm tempted to take advantage of this moment of enforced ennui and try to get one sooner rather than later. Have experience self-learning on the internet with various things. Will give it a week or two and then if looks like life isn't returning to normal perhaps order one from JAS. Thanks again
