I receive kickbacks. Yep, you've got that right, me, the incorruptible, the integrity focused, honest and caring Beware! The Leopard receives money for selling people a certain product.
I'm not going to tell you which one, but a major piano manufacturer gives me a financial incentive to sell its pianos. Now it's not exactly cash, I have to spend the earnings by getting their sales rep to buy me gift vouchers at the shop of my choice. It has ended up being pretty lucrative with well over 500 pounds earned in the last 6 months.
Before you get all uppity on me, I will be honest, I do have some reservations about the process, but like Frasier Crane, I decided to only accept the vouchers if I really did sell the piano for the right reasons. Luckily for me, the company in question manufactures the best (IMHO) digital pianos around, especially when you take value for money into account.
Ok, all of this is to say that using the vouchers, I purchased myself an Ebow. This little gadget is awesome. It's bringing a completely different sound to my music, and will help make a lot of the tunes more atmospheric. It will take a lot of practice to get my Ebow skills to where I would like them to be, and to explore all that this new addition to the guitar can bring to my music, but I am thoroughly pleased. I know it's a hunk of plastic with some metal in it, but I urge any guitarists out there to go and try one, it just might be that new sound you are looking for.
Ha ha! Good post title.
