The one and only real instrument that I have ever parted with...
Although I was inevitibly going to have to sell my drum kit when Tisa and I took off to New Zealand anyways (or put it in storage at least), I really sold this so that I had the money to afford her a nice Christmas present in 2002.
It's a long story how I ultimately went about getting the thing packaged up and shipped across the country, but it landed me a few hundred dollars, just what I needed to buy Tisa a very simple little emerald ring. The ring was unfortunately lost about three weeks later, never to be seen again.
