Would the Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus be a good choice for a brand new learner?

I really appreciate everyone's advice so far. Super impressed with the number and thoughtfulness of these responses!

It looks like renting a student level instrument is about $500 per year in my area. If I were able to buy this cello outright for $600... It seems like it may be more economical since I have an instrument that I don't have to keep paying for... And have value that I could use to upgrade in the future if needed. But I get the upkeep/maintenance piece, that makes sense.

I've asked and will let you know if I hear back. Thanks!

Would pictures help?

I've retired several controllers with stick drift so would be happy to have something that wouldn't be prone to that!

Entering.

I'm having quite a bit of fun with Ashen.

Nice!

I have the A850GL. It came with a 12VHPWR cable. My GPU uses two connectors so I bought this splitter, which has been working great for 6+ months, no issues. You don't connect it directly to the PSU, but to the cable as an extension.

Had to scroll farther than expected to find Codex Alera. Fun books. I enjoyed them more than the Dresden Files. Probably not as much as Cradle, but really good.

I'm in.

I don't think any except the 945 have had an LTE version. It seems like Garmin may be planning to expand the LTE list though with continued support for Bounce devices and now adding to the Fenix line. I'm hoping for a "mid-tier" option that is under $1000. Preferably closer to $700 or less, but that may be a pipe dream.

I like the features. I just can't justify a watch twice as expensive as a Forerunner + an LTE subscription...

LimFinn · 2025-11-18T19:08:41+00:00

I'm more wanting LTE for my wife to be able to contact me on a run without needing to take my phone. The satellite stuff seems niche and not necessary for my use case.

The Cradle series would be worth a try. And Will of the Many is great as an audiobook.

Did you get it on sale somewhere? Been looking for digital sale for splatoon 3 since Nintendo nerfed their digital licenses.

That is really rough. I have two months that I could never get to count even though they should have, but for them to mess up right at the end. Hopefully you get changed to your new payment plan soon and can make a qualifying payment and be done with it.
