HELP! Spare child's guitar for pupil in need?

[bluesuperted]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help. My husband is a teacher at a local primary school and has been made aware of a child with a very difficult home life who is desperate to join the school's guitar club. However the proviso for the club is that each member has a guitar to practice on at home. Needless to say it's not an option for parents/carers to buy one (already uses a school-sourced PE kit).

I wondered if anyone here had a child's guitar (that would suit a 9 year old) lying around not being used that they would be willing to donate. My husband would love to pick it up and give it to this child to give them something a bit fun to get involved in. He was planning on buying the child one himself and will do this if necessary but I thought it was worth asking here!

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Bluesuperted. Pretty sure from your name that I work with your husband and probably have 1/2 size guitar no longer being used. Might be rather the worse for wear but better than nothing. Will have a look and let you/him know before he goes out and spends his hard-earned wages!

That's great, haha! We think we've worked out who you are too from your username... Guess we'll find out tomorrow (were you involved in a pond-dipping incident with our intrepid 2yo this summer? ;)

Quite right. If our small guitar no good have another idea too. Will speak to R tomorrow.

You're a star (but we did know that!)

Hi,

I have just put a full size guitar up in the loft that my 10 year old no longer uses and would be happy for it to be put to good use. I live in West Norwood but am happy to bring it over to ED at the weekend if you still need one.
