our drummmers son was getting his dads equipment sunday after church...

the snare drum bag was wedged slightly under my guitar stand, which was then holding my 335...

the 6 year old then proceeds to pull straight up on the bag...

the guitar flew straight forward hitting the concrete floor...

chipped headstock

i know its material, but it was avoidable on both parts, i shoulda put it straight in the case after finished. crap. 

Man I feel so bad. For you and the 6 year old. He's probably mortified. You know, he doesn't have full control over his body yet.
The child's father should have taken more care, in allowing him to get gear. He should have been there supervising him.
Little man was probably real proud to be around the "musicians".
I hate that your guitar fell. Good instruments are expensive, so again really sorry about that.
But I don't know, if you see little man again soon, let him know that everything is cool. He's probably a scared/ nervous.
God Bless, lilBB!

BTW, if it was a Gibson or Epiphone, they might fix the guitar for free! It's worth giving Gibson a call.

They are very complcated to make, and they are made with silver. Some are made with gold w/mother of pearl keys and can run up to $36,000. And just like guitars, you can really tell the difference. The cheap student versions have almost no silver in them. They sound like pipes. The more silver in the makeup, the more expensive and the more resonant the sound. 24K gold sounds the best.

Trackman, my wife is also a flautist, and know that student models can cost $2000, right?
Did the church offer to pay?
Was anything bent?

Why should a flute cost that much? It doesn't make sense.

For that reason alone, i would kill him.

...or at least sell his daddy's car.

Yeah, the student models can run up into that range. She bought the intermediate model Yamaha. I don't know the model number. A couple of the keys were bent and had to be straightened. We didn't make any formal arrangements to see if the church would pick up the tab. We just ate the cost ourselves. Now it's either sitting in her lap in service, or it's packed away in its case! I had just bought her a mic that attached to her flute also so that had to sit for the three weeks that it was in repair.

She's very good at what she does though. I'll see if I can sneak a clip of her playing onto the site for you to hear.

To quote a recent president

[Arkansas drawl] Ah feel yore pain [/Arkansas drawl]

Depending on which of my basses it was, I'd have a hard time "maintaining the Christian spirit".  I have a couple Alembics that are worth more than some used cars.

I have a challenge EVERY Thursday night.  One of our singers has a 2-yr old who EVERY rehearsal makes a bee-line for the drums.  She doesn't check him.  Her mother doesn't check him.  The drummer is scared to check him.  It's all very pleasant.

Once when somebody did block his path to the drums, he did an end-around and ran past my setup and tripped on my instrument cable, pulling my Markbass amp off the top of the speaker cabinet and down to the floor.  Luckily, the cable took the brunt of the impact and sacrificed itself to protect my amp.  On one hand I was irritated that mom didn't acknowledge that lil man had actually caused damage, let alone offer to reimburse me.  On the other hand, it was a Monster cable, so I took it to GC and the replaced it for me, no charge.

Peace,

James

A clip would be nice!
She probably had three weeks worth of playing, trapped inside.
You hadn't heard that much flute playing in forever
With the new mike too...

Love me some Gibsons!

Ever see Spanky's guitar? I think it's a L-5, Super 400, or a Johnny Smith
